It’s all about pushing you over the edge.

I understand that... but what if you already know you don't belong there and had no choice i the matter? What is gained by abusing a human being like that... for the mere sake of abusing them? There is nothing glorious or attractive about it to me.

Pride and other petty concerns (like exhaustion and other uncomfortable sensations) can be very distracting and get in the way of completing a mission during difficult circumstances. If that doesn't explain it, then nothing short of experiencing it could enlighten one who doesn't know.

What is attractive to you may be what is attractive to all pansies?

There is nothing glorious or attractive on the battlefield or combat. These guys are not being trained to be Susie homemaker. They are being trained to be killers in combat and to make it back home. Remember that!
