Here is an example, I used to be a cop. I sent someone to jail once for doing something I did exactly (what I didu got covered up because I was a cop). That was hard on me. Punching people, breaking bones, making people cry never bothered me. Being a hypocrite did.

Jim sounds like Dexter, but without the urge to kill.

I’m sorry but Patton and MacArthur aren’t really good examples. Patton was pretty much an overrated, jerkish buffoon who owed much of his success to massive numerical superiority, much like Zhukov. He wanted to attack the USSR after the war was over. It’s no wonder Truman had him assassinated. MacArthur was an impotent, introverted, mediocre, narcissistic twat raised by a domineering, insufferable mother. He screwed up the defense of the Philippines and panicked in 1950 when he was repulsed by the Chinese in Korea. He actually wanted to start a nuclear war against China and the USSR because he was afraid the Korean Peninsula would be lost. No wonder he got deposed. Jerks like them never make good commanders, they only steal the limelight with their antics, leaving the actually competent commanders in oblivion.

There really shouldn’t be any mystery about the constant presence of a certain percentage of narcissists in the population.
The answer to the origin of almost any human trait comes down to this: Because women select for it.
Why would a woman select for a man unlikely to bond with her? Because her genes want her to have a son who will have a lot of offspring. In the ancestral environment (in this case: all of time before birth control), a cad who slept around his entire life without being tied down by pesky pair-bonds would reliably father huge numbers of children. From the gene’s point of view, the cad’s lack of empathy is a feature, not a bug.
The gene just wants to replicate. The cad is the most productive replication machine available. So women “want” their sons to be cads (we all “want” whatever our genes want). So they mate with cads.
From the gene’s point of view, contrast the cad with his opposite: A male who pair-bonds for life with one woman, and remains 100% faithful. He limits his entire lifetime reproduction to that of his mate. As a replication machine, he is worth less than a woman (because he may be cuckolded).
