Training soldiers is a discipline which has been practiced and refined for millenia. If it required touchy feely, liberal intervention to maximize its effectiveness, then I imagine it wouldn't have evolved the way it did. Social liberalism is great for society in general, but when it comes to the armed forces, I'd prefer amoral pragmatism to dictate policy.
