They did an experiment where they altered a person's prefrontal cortex and frontal lobe, the portion of the brain that plays a large factor in regulating emotions. However, the person also lost the ability to plan ahead and make sensible decisions related to their well-being. A possible conclusion that can be drawn from this is that emotion and logic are not dichotomies but are intricately connected.
An ample experiment with interesting results. It is possible that emotions and logic draw from one another; one needs the other to survive. Perhaps it is not the need to lose one to understand war, but the ability to govern both.
