Peter Maas, Buchautor und Journalist, beschäftigt sich seit Jahren mit dem Thema Krieg. In seinem Artikel geht es darum, wie militärische Spezialeinheiten psychologisch auf Situationen in Straßenkämpfen und Kriegsgefangenenlagern vorbereitet werden.

The Special Forces are well trained, but that does not mean they will come back alive or sound, especially if they fight a war that should not be fought or embark on missions that are poorly planned. Their bodies are not bulletproof, nor are their minds. The discipline that is driven into them in training and at their bases can wear down if a war is long enough or murky enough or if they see too many of their comrades killed or injured.
