>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. 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.
