This project investigated the relations between recalled job-satisfaction, ability,
and task demands in Vietnam era helicopter aviators. It attempted to detect and
describe factors present in a dangerous combat environment which may influence some
individuals to enjoy and take satisfaction at being exposed to, creating, and
participating in the dangerous and life threatening violence involved in helicopter
combat. Participants were 30 pilots and crew members retired from the 335th Assault
Helicopter Company who were all actively involved in combat in Vietnam from 1968 to
1970. This study found that developing a love of war is correlated with anger during
combat. The love of war is not correlated with PTSD processes nor is it correlated with
specific personality dimensions. The love of war research is a new area. The questions
were used to operationalize the love of war represent a significant limitation. This
method of operationalizing the love of war concept does not make fine discriminations
has questionable content validity. To facilitate accuracy in discriminating between
participants when conducting future research in the area, researchers could benefit
from constructing a measure with greater content validity.
