I see. I didn't get that impression. Not that it really matters when discussing these very special guys, the only one I got to know pretty well was a SEAL, and he'd seen and participated in some pretty hairy action in Nam. So had his brothers that I came to know as casual acquaintances. They were all great guys and didn't talk about their jobs.
