An Army Private marches ten miles in the rain with a forty-pound ruck. "Man," he says, "I hate this shit."
An Airborne Ranger marches twelve miles in the rain with a forty-five pound ruck and on one meal a day. "Fuck, man!" he says, "This life is the shit!"
A SEAL swims fifteen miles downriver with a fifty-pound pack, a double ammo load, and the kitchen sink, kills an enemy sentry with his knife, and low-crawls 800 yards in the mud to avoid being observed. "I -love- this shit!" he says, awaiting extraction.
A Recon Marine Sniper waits for a week in a hastily-dug hide for a single shot. By the time he gets it, he's considering eating bugs. "Wow." He thinks to himself. "I really dig this shit."
An Air Force 2nd Looie sits down at his desk and yells "My computer's not working? What IS this shit!?"
