Special forces are required to be tough and brave but not

Ever hear of "Japan"?

There's a huge difference between kamikaze missions and special
operations missions.
Special operators plan to return, kamikazes don't. Kamikazes don't need
to be trained beyond the requirements needed to operate their suicide
weapons, special operators are trained to do any mission asked of them
etc. But you probably knew all this and just want to be difficult.
