Sure they are, but we've been working on making ways to replace outright aggression with acceptable behaviour and agreement in all aspects of life since we started sharing caves. He just sandbagged himself with some of the stuff that comes with being a professional in the Aggression Business. He apologized, explained and accounted for it and he's only weeks away from retirement.
The issue's with the men who actually believe they can't help themselves — or needn't as long as they won't be punished — and he's clearly not one of them.

I think it's getting blown way out of proportion. (And he's not wrong, but in this age of "rape culture", it's politically incorrect, very politically incorrect to say such things.)
Also for a General to suggest his soldiers can't rise above their hard-wiring as he and the officers claim they have. Could that have something to do with training everyone in the forces to kill or be killed?
It's not only just humans but males in the animal kingdom are also sexually aggressive. The vast majority of human males are civilized and can control their primal sexual urges but there are a few who are out of control and are an embarrassment/disgrace to the male gender. Here a few examples:
Don Meredith
Jian Gohmeshi
Bill Cosby
The two Liberal MP's
and the list goes on
P.S. Yes we want our soldier warriors (and football and hockey players) to be aggressive but it should be controlled discipline aggression.

True. It may go to 11, but you're supposed to know enough never to turn it up that high.
Ho-Hum. Ditto for the General whose wrist is quite red enough.
We're also "hard wired" to kill our rivals with our teeth and nails, and probably also to eat our babies in tough times. Does any sane person mention these things as a way of, for example, mitigating the crimes of the face-eaters-on-buses during their trials?

This guy is a GENERAL. So I would expect some intellect up there in the head. When I heard his recorded comment over radio he was speaking in a slow, measured pace indicating he has put some thoughts to it. In these days of open multi media everyone is monitored and easily exposed. There "maybe" some true in what he said BUT how can he make such a public gaffe. (Shake head, roll eyes.)
We all make mistakes. Especially as we get older, you lose your train of thought. The guy didn't say he agreed with it, he just stated it as a fact of life. There's the way that it should be and there is the way that it is.
The evidence seems to support that fact. Think of all the sexual criminals. The vast majority are male.
