I have never been in a war, only fights, with knives and the occasional gun that I thought was real. I have never felt more alive than when I am on the edge of death, save for a few religious experiences. People who like combat generally do not like war, per se. They don't usually like killing. If they can be happy about killing ,it is probably because they have made it impersonal.
Some people like combat because of chaos, some people like it because it makes them strong, others like it because it instills discipline in them, and some feel a spiritual connection. Some like the friendships that form between them and their buddies. Most people who like 'war', meaning combat, are not psychos, and are the most human, sane people you will ever meet.
