How do Army Rangers, Special Forces guys and Ninjas etc. ignore pain?

Question

When I was in the Army, I did not do any thing like SF, I was just a regular soldier. They tried to get us used to feeling a lot of pain and dealing with it. They did a pretty good job on that.

But they say green Barrettes and Ninjas and stuff are taught how to literally IGNORE pain completely.

How do they do that? If I could completely ignore pain and not feel any thing at all-- with out using drugs-- then I could fight Mike Tyson and probably kick his ***, because when he hit me, I would not feel a thing. That would be awesome!

You shut your brain down. Like in a trance. Volunteers in the IRA were told to pick a point on the wall in the interrogation room. Imagine there is a green spot there and just keep staring at it. See the spot spinning, dancing, talking to you. Just keep looking at the green spot and block everything else out. NEVER INFORM. DEATH FOR INFORMERS.
