The Army and the Marine Corps, and occasionally, to a lesser extent the USAF and USN, don't recruit tough men. We recruit men with the potential for toughness and then lead them, train them, drive them and inspire them to toughness.
We live in a world in which pretend tough guys, millionaire sports stars (including fighters) and actors, get treated like the real thing. Meanwhile we know guys that have been packing heat for Uncle Sam for 30 fucking years and fighting dirty little wars in every nasty corner of the planet and they get treated like shit.
