You can almost feel the warmth of love and respect this NYT writer has for the military.

I disagree. He's done a creditable job discussing something in an unbiased manner. It is conditioning, after all -- they're conditioning these guys to be able to handle surprises.

All in all, I think Mr. Maass has gained tremendous respect for these guys, and it shows in what he wrote.

The respect is obviously grudging and borderline paranoid. In a way, that kind of respect is the purest form.
