One speculation. Nature seems to have a way to tame strong people, those to whom it gave strength and potential destructive powers. It makes them nicer. Stronger but nicer. A robust result shows that men with elevated testosterone levels tend to be more generous and peaceful, but get much, much more aggressive when insulted –as per Fat Tony’s ethos, they take no crap but give no crap. This is well known in the military and in weightlifting circles. Put someone through an Olympic-style weightlifting regimen and he will be less likely to be startled. 

It is no wonder that when you see a warmonger in the bureaucrato-journalistic class, you will notice something jarring: many look like nerds who have been bullied on school grounds, or, worse, skinny-fat marathon runners on a vegetarian diet, your local college teacher who specializes in gender history or postcolonial theory, or some political forecaster still whining about the election results. 

Jarring it is. It is quite offensive for nature to have people without the means impose their will on others, and technology allows such aggressiveness without the breaks spontaneously brought about by organic systems.
