The idea of a mystical aim for soldiering, and battle as a psychoactive (like LSD?) got me thinking of Bertrand Russel on Boredom.
> Wars, pogroms, and persecutions have all been part of the flight from boredom; even quarrels with neighbours have been found better than nothing. Boredom is therefore a vital problem for the moralist, since at least half the sins of mankind are caused by the fear of it.
