That seems like a pretty good translation. The in-group/out-group dynamics that lead ordinary, boring people to commit atrocities, the effects of hazing on group solidarity but also group brutality, all that good shit. There's scads of research on it, from analyzing how bullying happens to how genocides happen. We've got the same concepts in english, we just have to use a couple of sentences instead of gluing verbs together like we're afraid we'll run out of spaces.
Not at all coincidentally, i was having a lovely conversation about someone's flight-simulator set-up when they casually mentioned that they were ready to fight the entire Chinese airforce, entirely unprompted.
