Much like soldiers, they are probably trained and raised in a... physical, violent, confrontation, push yourself through aggression... environment. So any baseline used to evaluate these players is heavily biased.

When compared against the full population, Javon's mental status might jump right out as troubling. But when evaluated against group of similar people, the red flag might be hard to find.
