Side Effect of High Testosterone:
Being more scared of failing your Mission, than Death.
You would rather Die and Complete The Mission
than Live and Fail The Mission

Human Males evolved to do whatever it takes, up to and including sacrificing their own lives, for the sake of completing their Mission.
A seemingly ludicrous focus and commitment to completing the task at hand perplexes many people, especially Women.
