Respect is something I reserve for people who aren't trying to shoot me, kill people for teaching women how to read, for shaving their beards, for not believing exactly the same thing they do, for watching TV, or playing soccer.
Combat is competition at it's fiercest, and like any good competition, there is exhiliration in victory and misery in defeat. You can't be effective if you don't enjoy winning...You won't push hard enough, take big risks, stay up for 50 hours, push through pain, etc.
