I think, somehow, it elevates them. "Look how tough I am."
It takes a really tough and strong person to show compassion. It takes guts to care.
A cop-out is to say all the nasty things and pretend one's bravado is what sets one apart from the "bleeding hearts."
Inside, they're scared to death. This is their wall, which must afford them some small comfort. I don't buy it, though.
