It's a tossup. If you believe our guys from that war, tossing prisoners from helicopters to get the rest to talk was not uncommon.

I do think that character and honor affect the level of one's performance. Like they say, no honor among thieves. The more low-life a crowd is, the less likely they are to work together, to have each other's back, etc.

Yes, I do think there's a correlation.
