And I don't think any Spec.Ops. officer would ever publically say they had the 'crap' scared out of them. Read Blackhawk Down. Initial shock and fear isn't unusual, and some of them admited to it in the interviews for this book. But then these guys keep on fighting, and for the enemy, it isn't a pretty sight....
Fear is a normal part of combat, the thing is that no combat soldier will tell you if he was or was'nt. Its a private thing. I'd sure like to meet this confidential source.
Probably some civillian puke in the pentagon.
