That is the truth. Like Seruzawa said, it is amazing more of them don’t collapse and die in that training.

But that training is what keeps them alive in combat, where they might otherwise die or the mission fail.

I have a nephew that was in seal training and after about four weeks he decided there is more to life than this. He had passed all the mental and physical tests up to that point. He walked up rang the bell and said I’m out of here. He also said that after his DOR he was placed in a barracks with others who had DOR’ed awaiting re-assignment and that many were on suicide watch and most were in a state of depression. He was happy with his decision but most there were in a dark place.
