It's a mindset, for sure. Talked to a guy who was in the thick of it in Afghanistan. Kandahar, maybe?We're trained to run into a hail storm of bullets to retrieve a dead body (Black Hawk Down). We're trained to (maybe) survive high risk situations.
Got shot, called in the location of the shooter, and they leveled the building.
I asked about his mindest to go into a war zone like that. He basically said "You don't think. You just go on autopilot and hope it works out".
I could imagine that thinking would make it REALLY effing hard to go TOWARD the danger.
