I don't know if this really applies but I do think to an extent one can "suck it up" when in certain situations or when they know they have to. My son is in the Marines and I will never forget going to his graduation (from basic) Basic for the Corps is 13 weeks, at the end of the 13 weeks they go through what is called the Crucible it is 54 hours of testing. They are out in the woods, they do mock battle, 15 20 mile humps ect. on 2 hours of sleep per 24 hours. My son had stress fractures and a torn ligament in his ankle he knew he could not say anything for fear of being pulled from training sent to a medic and graduation put off for weeks. They are told for 13 weeks to be tough and they truly learn it. It is totally drilled in their heads that they can and have to deal with it. Although this was really a mistake on his part as he now is looking at extensive surgery on his both of his ankles. I natually has a HUGE fit when I saw the condition of his ankle and he explained it as being able to detach himself from what hurt. I couldn't do it I know that. but they are taught to do this I guess. Anyway, this may not have been quite the reply you were looking for but it just made me think back to when this happened and how the kid could have managed to march and march and..... and not even change the expression on his face. The bright side of this for me at least is depending on things go he may get to come home for good. Prior to going in the service he dealt with pain just like the rest of us when it hurt it hurt. He was definitly a different person after that.
