On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and SocietyThe revised and updated edition of Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's modern classic, hailed by the Washington Post as "an illuminating account of how soldiers learn to kill and how they live with the experiences of having killed."

The revised and updated edition of Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's modern classic, hailed by the Washington Post as "an illuminating account of how soldiers learn to kill and how they live with the experiences of having killed."The good news is that most soldiers are loath to kill. But armies have developed sophisticated ways of overcoming this instinctive aversion. And contemporary civilian society, particularly the media, replicates the army's conditioning techniques, and, according to Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's thesis, is responsible for our rising rate of murder among the young. Upon its initial publication, On Killing was hailed as a landmark study of the techniques the military uses to overcome the powerful reluctance to kill, of how killing affects soldiers, and of the societal implications of escalating violence. Now, Grossman has updated this classic work to include information on 21st-century military conflicts, recent trends in crime, suicide bombings, school shootings, and more. The result is a work certain to be relevant and important for decades to come.

Easy to use with great results!
Color: Pink
I LOVE this like shaver!!! I use the flat face shaver at least once a week now, having PCOS I have A LOT of peach fuzz on my face and I've always had a little mustache I have darker hair so it's more noticeable. Since shaving my face with this little gadget I've noticed my makeup goes on SO MUCH SMOOTHER and doesn't ever look cakey now! My peach fuzz was making my makeup look awful until this! It's SO EASY to use, pain free, gentle on my face skin and bikini area! I've used the bikini head on it too and it worker really well and gave me back smooth skin! The value is unbeatable for the versatility of this gadget and ease of use! It has a charging station that isn't big at all and the whole thing can fit on my purse it's PERFECT for traveling and everyday convenience! I've been using it for a few weeks now and haven't had to charge it yet! The durability seems good it fits nicely in my hand not to large or small and I can take it on the shower or use it dry!

Practical, gentle, and worth the price
Color: Pink
I’m really happy with this product. It’s small, lightweight, and very easy to use, which makes it perfect for quick touch-ups. It works well on the bikini area without causing irritation, which was something I was a bit worried about at first. The blades seem gentle on the skin but still get the job done effectively.
The design is comfortable to hold and gives good control while using it. I also like that it’s discreet and easy to store or carry if needed. The battery life is decent for the size, and I haven’t had any issues so far.
Overall, for the price, it’s definitely worth it. If you’re looking for something simple, convenient, and effective, I would recommend giving it a try.

Great trimmer, easy to use and no irritation
Color: Pink
I bought this 3-in-1 electric trimmer for personal use, and I’m honestly very impressed. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and very comfortable to use. What I love the most is that it doesn’t irritate the skin, which is very important, especially for sensitive areas.
It comes with multiple attachments, making it very versatile. I’ve used it for the bikini area, underarms, and quick touch-ups, and it works great on all of them. It’s also waterproof, so you can safely use it in the shower, which makes it even more convenient.
The battery lasts a good amount of time and charges via USB, which is perfect for travel. It’s also pretty quiet compared to other trimmers.
