Does being used to violence make people overconfident?

I think it depends on the person.
Why Anna Loginova felt her car was worth giving her life for will never be known.
I think it was a very odd action when one considers that most cars are insured and easily replaced, and a life, even if it is insured, cannot be replaced.
She clearly seriously underestimated her adversary, which makes one wonder how effective she really was in her job. May be she was just another of the plague of vacuous celebrities, but learnt too late that it did not make her invincible?
A hero on celluloid may just carry over the hangover of his impregnable self in REEL LIFE into real life WITH DISASTROUS EFFECTS. Because there is no 'CUT' in that life, only onwards and forwards, relentlessly and mercilessly.
Reaching the top, is lot easier than staying alive, kicking and REAL.
Thus, REAL life heroes have to get REAL!
Despite all the technological progress the humankind has made, it looks like we continue to live in pre-historic times with men attacking women over a heap of metal.
On the other hand, this situation only proves the point that being a bodyguard doesn't revolve around training and reaction only. It is ability to detect danger and sense it which matters - something men are more accustomed to.
however unwise it was to give a life for a car, it's a natural instinct to defend your own belongings, could it be a lighter, a car or an oil company. why everyone's just talking about a girl, was she right or wrong, never mentioning the bastard, who killed her, or a conditions where driving a better car is dangerous, almost impossible??shame.
