> Navy Seals talk about that being tired is just an emotion like feeling happy.

BUD/S has like a 25% pass rate, of people who are even allowed to try.

No critique. When you have to operate under circumstances like that and your life and your fellow soldiers lives are at stake it makes sense.

Has inherent problems though.
