How Do Military Groups Create Identity Fusion?

Sharing disphoric experiences is not the only way in which people can become fused with a group. Another common pathway to fusion is sharing biologically inherited traits, or believing that you share common ancestors and family ties. Military groups exploit these psychological tendencies by putting sold s through excessively disphoric forms of basic training or traditions of hazing. This is also achieved by requiring them to shave their heads and wear the same uniforms - making them look more like clansmen who are descended from the same tribal elders.
