    Women are sexually attracted to war heroes, and WWII Medal of Honor recipients sire more children than ordinary vets http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090513815000239 …pic.twitter.com/nwfNEWxE4P

        Or the men who would be war heroes are just more attractive and competent men overall?

        Yep, presumably the heroism is attractive because it reveals deeper underlying traits such as competence and altruism

        and to WAR heroes only. If you're a hero saving lives in an earthquake, it doesn't work. No killing, no reward. http://www.southampton.ac.uk/news/2015/03/sexual-appeal-of-war-heroes.page …

        ...it's not so much the killing, they've proved themselves protectors of the group, prepared to sacrifice themselves for the group.

        Curious - seems like not surviving an act of heroism should be part of the fitness equation, but no mention of mortality diffs.

        A tribe for which this was not true would be at a disadvantage compared to one that was, although group selection probably too weak to cause

        This partially explains why in my youth I "couldn't get a date in a women's prison," as the saying goes. Served in ODS but no combat.
