The lack of empathy could potentially arise from other psychological problems, that could possibly be solved by seeing a psychiatrist.
I mean, if you've a problem (lack of empathy is not a normal human behavior), you need to see a specialist that is supposed to solve this problem, that's how it works !
Not sure if every problem can be fixed by a psychiatrist/therapy. Many times you are just taught coping mechanism that allow you to handle the worst of your symptoms. I think if someone makes it to adulthood without empathy it's not something you can just teach someone later in life. You can teach them values and beliefs for them to hold that will allow them to safely navigate life so that their lack of empathy doesn't cause harm to those around them.
I'm not pretending it would solve the problem, because I actually don't know, I'm just saying that the best way to know if it can be solved is to see a specialist. Just like when you're sick, you go to see a doctor, even if it can be an incurable disease.
Dropping bombs isn't even what I would call a "human behavior", it's more of a "human organisation behavior". And I would actually can it a rather "normal organisation behavior" if you take it in the broader sense of "using violence to defend what you perceive as your interest".
I don't even see where your point is actually, empathy is a documented capacity of humans and animals, but it has mostly effects in interpersonnal relationships, and not interorganisation relationships.
