Spec Operators WANT those missions. It's the whole reason they do what they do. For the most part, they're action junkies.

They don't work their guts out to meet the insane physical and psychological standards because the job is safe, and they don't turn down the opportunity to make crazy amounts of money in the private sector because the Military pays so well. BTW I figure you should know this, exactly what is the deal with US Army special forces, since the Rangers appear to be more like our Commandos (Specialist Assault troops rather than LRRP and CT operators etc.) based on what people are saying here, so is Delta Force the US Army's branch of SOCOM or is it something else?
