“A Vietnam veteran SEAL compared SEAL training to the forging of a samurai sword: heat the metal, pound it with a hammer, stick it in cold water, and repeat the process approximately 2,000 times. He said no one can sustain that kind of punishment without first knowing *why* they want to be a SEAL. Knowing why enables the trainee to endure the pounding he endures.”
