Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 39
General Barry McCaffrey (best known as our nation's Drug Czar during the Clinton administration) told a story to a group of West Point cadets about his experiences in Vietnam that exemplifies what stress inoculation is all about. One day he and a friend (a classmate from West Point and Ranger school) were in Vietnam lying behind a rice paddy dike as bullets screamed over their heads. At the peak of the battle, the General's friend turned to him, and said, "Well shit, at least we're not in Ranger school."
