What I took from the article:
Men who've been tested by violence understand the importance of decisiveness.

Specifically, they understand that you have to be decisive, act, and fully commit when the outcome is uncertain.
Too often today, people want their outcomes guaranteed for them.

The only guarantees in life are death and taxes.
It's up to each of us to make our own guarantees.

Teddy Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena" comes to mind.
