 Survival in war is sadly up to chance. No matter how strong, smart, or resourceful you are - if a bullet, mortar, bomb, or rocket catches you it’s over. Every day I wonder how people I looked up to and who I thought were much better than me died and yet I survived. I share this because after two combat tours in the middle east I still struggle to understand that no one can outsmart a bullet. Training and proficiency will help, but if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time there is nothing that can change what happens. Best of luck for anyone heading into a combat zone. War is not fair, it is a condition that you must operate under.
