Thank you for these fascinating and helpful insights. In another life I served as chaplain to a team of elite warriors and I was acutely aware of the tension between their military and domestic roles: gentle as lambs at home, fearless lions in war zones. In fact it was not as simple as that because sometimes duty called them into situations where the same tension was present, requiring the ability to live peaceably among potentially hostile neighbours.
