they’ll sleep on the floor…they’ve probably already slept in wet, muddy holes in the walls ground or on scorching hot sand as part of their training. I’m not military, not related to or even close to anyone in/from the military, but I’ve worked in aviation my entire career and we train for what we’re expected to execute in an actual event. I can’t believe military training is much different. They’ll do what they’re trained to do which is why they should not be there in the first place
