[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 4327090, member: 6064"] I think this is less than it used to be. If you think about it in the context of the draft and conflicts, no matter how tragic your day was you still had a job to do that lives depended on. Just because you stood one day on a pile of rubble with a huge crater in front of that pile that held 243 of your fellow Marines, didn't mean the next day you could just puddle up and say hey Gunnery Sargent, I can't make it. Lives still depended on you doing your job. Now that may not have been you personally, but there is a high likelihood that the person who raised you was. (just one example in millions). Why do men do it? Because they had to and learned it by doing it. Now we have volunteer forces so this effect isn't as wide spread, so I think it is less so now. Take heart Rez, not everyone here takes you so literally, and some can even read between your lines, but don't expect them to puddle up with ya, still got a job to do😉 (Disclaimer: not saying you would puddle up.)
