But he wasn't. He was there as a volunteer, he had left that job behind.

You've clearly never done that "job". It cannot simply be left behind. It fundamentally changes a person. Especially in SOF.

It is probably true that in countries like Thailand, serving in the military is somewhat thankless. That's hard to imagine from a US perspective where veterans/servicemembers today receive amazing support.
