If you've got a job to do, you have to do it to the best of your ability so you need only focus on that. If you die, you died well.
I don't have any first hand knowledge about this phenomena of "chickenshititus" but I do understand what it is. It is because most men are worthless cretins who have a million excuses for why they can't do the simplest things.
My whole life, I've seen people freeze up and fail to fight, including these "ex-special forces" bozos. They'd rather just curl up into a ball and see anyone they (don't really) care about get fucked over than to take a chance and go down swinging. They'll do anything to avoid combat with the enemy, it's really pathetic. I don't know how you can even call yourself a man if you are like this but most men are absolutely like this.
I was in the weight room today, marveling how the shitheads had managed to put everything in the wrong place, turning the place into an absolute dump after the owners had spent last weekend making things perfect, all because they "don't care" about anything.
Maybe you don't see how these things are related but they absolutely are. It's pure selfishness. They can't fight the enemy because they don't care about anyone but themselves, their fears, their neurosis, their laziness...fucking things up for everyone else because of how THEY feel. Once their womanly emotions start, that's all that exists to them.
Imagine coming to a place to "train" and being too lazy to put the weights away after you use them. I've organized the entire gym between sets for a little extra work and it was not that hard. Consequently, I'm in shape and can do things.
Do these people imagine that they're getting the same benefit from training that I am? They are not, because they don't care.
Then I went into the bathroom and the toilets were not flushed and there's shit everywhere, all for a bunch of assholes who are just there to fuck things up for everyone else while deriving very little benefit for themselves.
I went into the parking lot and no one stopped for me at the stop signs on the road even though, "law and order" and "empathy" is allegedly so important to them.
Ridiculous, and you would hesitate to pull the trigger?
These are "average, everyday" people in a pretty rural area and apparently, most of of them don't even deserve to live. They're a bunch of dirtbags and they aren't even the enemy.
Imagine how I feel about them. lol

A study was done on Victoria Cross (basically UK's version of Medal of Honor) recipients, to try and find something that these tremendously brave men had in common that can drive them to their incredible feats. This medal is often rewarded for saving lives of their comrades by performing suicidal/extremely dangerous action, usually involving killing or distracting the enemy. They found that almost every single recipient had this one thing in common: they were the eldest siblings in a dysfunctional household, where they had to be "dad" to their brothers and sisters for whatever reason.
So you take this guy who grew up literally looking after the lives of his four younger brothers/sisters, and put him in the military. He ends up in a unit, and this unit becomes his sort of "new family". These men he will fight with- he looks at them as literal brothers that he feels responsible for.
When shit hits the fan, these are the men who sacrifice themselves to destroy an enemy bunker that's spraying their brothers with bullets. This familial connection and responsibility is what drives a man to run up a steep mountain in waist-deep snow in the pitch black while being fired at from all angles- "If I don't kill these guys, they're going to hurt my family". This appears to be the motivator.
These are the kind of people you want at your back. They see your gear isn't affixed properly, they help you out. You're being shot at, they'll do literally everything in their ability to stop that.
Just thought you might find that interesting, seeing as you've already got some understanding on the subject.
