And this is before he got ninja training. So Snake-Eyes must have already had a reputation as a hard man at the time for some reason. Thing is, we don't really know anything about Snake-Eyes' civilian life prior to joining the military. He could've already been born and/or raised hard, so to speak, and already brought that innate toughness with him into the military.
I see SE's hardness as the result of a young man who's lost a lot of buddies, seen a lot of horrible things, grew cynical from a senseless war. Unlike a lifer like Duke who fights for God and Country and Flag, SE fights only for his pals, for vengence and bloodlust, but never politics or honor. Something happened to him out there in the jungle, in the Nam. He's got that thousand yard stare and eyes that cut like blades. He's a tortured soul and a survivor of hell. He shows his enemy no mercy. There's a lost innocence about him. It's like he's searching for something out there...Something he'll never get back.
