Peacetime logic: "If something is dangerous, even if it helps you, don't do it!"
Wartime logic: "If it makes it easier to kill the enemy, and you think you can pull it off, go for it. Just don't screw up."
It's like being in a race versus driving your car normally. In one situation you'll take mad risks to get to where you want to go .5 seconds faster than anyone else. In the other, you get a ticket if you do the exact same thing.
