Me thinks the OP should google - neuropeptide Y - and at least read what's been said/studied about the affects of training and stress levels placed on SF (and SOF in general) personnel; and why the scientists 'think' we are cut from a different cloth than the rest of humanity.
I'm not saying that there is any correlation between training at a higher level and natural selection but, I do believe that the more experienced one becomes at performing under stress, the better ones' performance becomes under stress.
TJ brings up the point that you either have it or you don't, and this may be very true. I suppose one has to find out through trial and selection to see if they do or do not possess the "what it takes, mind over matter, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter" attitude to be SF.
