Number 9: Speaking of soldiers.

 Certain organizational structures encourage narcissistic traits. Hierarchical structures are home to the narcissist. They are naturally drawn to such professions because it validates their need for superiority and authority.

We can blame the parents – yet again not all children in such environments go on to become narcissists.
