General Yeager tells a story in his book, where one time he was scared
to fly. I'm probably not describing it correctly, as he wasn't
scared, he was sure he was going to die. That's more what I mean. In
combat, there are times when you are sure you are going to die, and
maybe scared isn't the right word, but worrying about your family or
fellow soldiers, who will now have to deal with that.
A lot of the time being scared is the only sane reaction.
How you deal with it is what separates the heroes and the zeroes.

Fear is always present to a greater or lessser degree. Keeping it under control
makes everything possible.
