A pro soldier may have to confront horrors in tunnels and DUMBs, but…
- They have training based on wisdom of all who went before (and may have perished too)
- It's their main job, not a sideline, so gets 100% of their energy
- They get a salary and benefits for it, so don't need to worry about food on the table
- There is a whole team of comrades on the same journey
- They are adapted to this role, by being selected, but might be relatively useless in the role you are in
- There is a system of recognition and reward, including promotion, for doing it well
- There are "official" (and sometimes secret) tools and techniques to help them heal their wounds

It is helpful to contrast this with anons, without falling into the trap of direct comparison. Anons may lack physical danger, but work in a psychologically exposed and isolated position. The war is won by everyone pulling together under their own warrior spirit, without needing to feel lesser or more than others in the arena.
