Especially as SOG missions seemed to involve getting in and out with no contact...
Maybe you should read the books again, you seemed to have missed the writing between the lines. Pay particular attention to the parts where it mentions medals, firefights, hugely out numbered, WIA and KIA, ass in a sling, barely got out, running, Praire Fire, shit hit the fan, Holy Mary Mother of God, CAS stacked up to heaven, stacking magazines, dropping rucks, shot out of the LZ and "I know there's a bunch of 'em, that's why I sent six of y'all, now get in there and mix it up!"

Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimal food or water, in austere conditions, training day and night. 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?
