Well, we're not gonna even begin to "understand this" as long as you are
doing what seems to me a lousy job of explaining it to us. From what you
say here it *seems to me* much more a case of the psychological
conditioning you received in training. Of course they want you to feel
special. Of course they want you to feel honorable. It's all part of the
program, isn't it?
