How unfortunately true! It does give one a different perspective on what's necessary, as

A week in the field, "living tactical" camouflaged against aggressors, and eating roots, berries, snakes, and raw fish, while engaging in assigned reconnaissance missions, tends to rearrange your priorities a bit.
