I wouldn't say military guys, especially the pilots are necessarily tough but they are used to certain things and know how things could be worse as they've been there. I'm certainly not tough but for example, after sitting in a cockpit, on the carrier deck, in the Persian Gulf, in August, with jets turning, no APU on, no air, unless the cockpit is on fire, it doesn't get hotter than that I think. But we pilots ***** regardless...seems quite a bit on this site
