How did Joyce get selected for a Commando team?


I'm sure that even in WW2 special forces like the SAS, Commandos and SOE were very strict about their screening of agents and soldiers?

So how did a nervous, untested Joyce get even nearly selected as a candidate, especially after telling the chiefs he might not be able to kill? Surely swimming ability wasn't everything above the many others in the Commando school?

Yes, I guess you're right. Damned plotline.
