This is a great interview by Tim Ferriss with Jocko Willink, who probably can be considered a "Born Soldier" in a similar vein: http://fourhourworkweek.com/2015

This is a great interview by Tim Ferriss with Jocko Willink, who probably can be considered a "Born Soldier" in a similar vein: http://fourhourworkweek.com/2015/09/25/jocko-willink/ http://fourhourworkweek.com/2015/09/25/jocko-willink/ The huge difference in perception from what is "usual" that the author of the linked article describes, struck me most when listening to it. Examples: Dying in battle -> That's the plan Battle of Ramadi -> Pinnacle of life By the way I am not judging this attitude either way. It's just interesting how different some people look at life.
