Yeah, those are always interesting experiences. OTOH, I'm a cryer. I also have to wipe the eyes at the end of disney flicks and sappy dramas, too. Or when family comes to visit, or leaves, or refuses to leave. The list is practically endless.
The strangest, and this ties in with patriotism and service and the convoluted emotions involved...I cry when I hurt people...which is why I would sing when I shot. It occupied the mind, kept tears back, and boosted accuracy through controlled breathing.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
