A lot of high functioning narcissists and sociopaths strive for positions of authority and power.. or even just for the glory and respect/admiration of others so being in the military, police force, politics, religious leader etc.. will certainly attract them. Being seen as a "hero" is enough for a lot of narcissists even if they have to follow orders from another.. most likely another narc.
Narcissists already see themselves as a hero; they only seek after validation to boost their own ego. They would not tolerate the demeaning nature of training, much less gain enough trust of their fellow squad members to be promoted to rank above them. Seeming arrogant tends to make Sociopaths on the other hand don't care enough about society to volunteer to protect it much less risk their lives for it.
You make the mistake of assuming the desire to kill is stronger in those who have less empathy, and even worse assuming that by killing without remorse someone you automatically prove yourself to be a sociopath. Hate and anger can allow someone to do horrible things and still not regret it, even though they may feel guilty about harming someone else.
narcissist,sociopath or another disorder.. my main point is a person who commits a horrible crime has literally problems in the brain, thus has a mental illness..period, that's not so hard to comprehend.
Evil atrocious acts surely stem from mental illness but most mentally ill are not evil. Like i said there are different types of mental illnesses, don't lump them together.
All evil people are mentally ill

Correlation is not causation. Committing crime is no proof of mental illness, and mental illness won't ensure a crime is committed.

Deplorable actions and mental illness exist separately.
