I concur. Most of the stuff done in the special forces is boring in many ways and extremely tiring. You really need to have determination to last through it. More than physical, its the mental toughness that is constantly being pushed to its limits during the selection and after selection.
The first CO of the SSG, later Maj Gen Abu Bakr Usman Mitha (HJ) said that he was looking for "highly motivated cowards".. Meaning that he was not looking for gung-ho, in your face type of people, rather intelligent, smart operators who were very motivated to get the job done and come out alive.
