    Possibly, but if you read about the rest of his life it seems like he just really enjoyed adventure, and, in common with many others, saw war as a thrilling, life-or-death, adventure.

        I think ‘mad as a sack full of badgers’ might be a more appropriate fit, but I can see the psychopath accusation, although he seems to mostly not cared about his own safety rather than displayed an unusual level of psycopathy for a soilder. If you read about the rest of his life it looks like hus feeling of invulnerability continued.
