It really is very easy.
I am a warrior.
Its the only thing I have ever been besides a student and even that was a means to the end. It permeates everything I do or am. It is the reason I raise my child the way I do, why I am on time, how I drive, the way I think. When I worked in an office, I ran it and did my job like I was in battle against an enemy. it is why I still do PT even though I don't have to. It is what makes me different from my relatives. It is why I have the friends (brothers) that I have. It is why I am in the profession I am in. Everything. Now, whether or not I am a good warrior or not is a different question all together.
Now, this is just my experience, but if you ask a communist what he/she is, they will tell you "I am a communist." When they ask a member of the FARC or SL, they invariably say Farucho or Senderista. I'll bet if you ask an Islamic terrorist, they will say "Muslim" or "Good Muslim". See my point?

The only thing clean on him is his weapon and he made his web gear. He doesn't worry about what workout to do - his ruck weighs what it weighs, his runs end when the enemy stops chasing him. This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home.
He knows only The Cause.
Still want to quit?
