“It was not impossible, because many of these men had had no intention of quitting a few hours or even minutes before they did. Something just gave way deep inside them. They could no longer go on, and they had no idea why.” (239 Luttrell)
This quote is based on the time of the aspiring Navy Seals going through their last stretch of testing. The last week is the hardest most difficult time. This quote first by saying that many of these men did not have any intention of quitting… this shows and implies how strong these men really are at this point. They are all far tougher and for physical than the average person. So saying that they can fail, and that this group of men, the ones that succeed, are the best OF the best OF the best. They are pretty much nit picked. Saying that they do not even know what has given up inside of them, that is just a hopeless kind of thing to say. It is one thing to fail, but to fail and not know why, to stop when you still want to keep going, and have no idea why you cant go. That would be the worst of all feelings, especially for someone who has worked that long to get to that point in life. Someone who is already that amazing of a human.
