Even if their brains aren't badly damaged, it probably doesn't sit well on your conscience beating people up. For some guys, maybe it doesn't bother them, but I bet a lot of them feel some guilt and shame after looking back.
One of the things McGrattan mentioned was that it became difficult because you get to know the guys you fight. When you're young, you don't think too much about the person behind the uniform, but when you get older, you realize that they are dads, husbands, and sons just like you. And there you are beating them up for their loved ones to watch with concern. Maybe I am just a wuss, but I was in one fight in my life when I was 14 that was just a peer pressure thing and I still think back about it to this day and feel bad about hurting that kid. It's one of those things that I'll randomly reflect on right when I am about to fall asleep and then it keeps up. The microsoft paper clip in my brain comes out and decides it's time to review my mistakes in life. If I did that a lot in my life, I'd probably be really depressed.
