I don't know . . . I've heard tales that one doesn't work to become an
<insert elite special-ops trooper>; one is
born an
<insert elite special-ops trooper>. It could be hooey. But if it isn't hooey -- and, boy, armed services really do like their tests and cuts! -- then it makes sense that only "natural soldiers" ever get into the unit. Frankly, I think lots of professions are like this. "Professional Orchestra Performer" would almost certainly have Musical Ability, and I would wager that "Inventor" needs Artificer. Careerists in most rarified professions are almost certainly naturals. There just aren't enough jobs to make room for those who lack a natural edge.
