Introduction
They are cannon fodder as in World War 1. Living in trenches with no food and drink, waiting till they were ordered to go “over the top” and attack the enemy. They knew they would be killed by machine guns of the enemy at such an attack but they had to obey. Millions were killed needlessly and uselessly.
Mind
Passive being a slave.
Feeling helpless in sudden shock situations.
Desire for support in dangerous situations.
Ailments after war.

Out of body experience.
They need a lot of space.
