Prior to 1990 (the end of the USSR and the cold war), the US military was the last bastion of discipline and tradition. The military is generally regarded as the soul of a nation (a reflection of the society that it serves).
As a society declines (deteriorates), so will it's military...but the military will be last (due to it's discipline and traditions).
The next time you watch an old "black and white" television horror film from the 1950s/1960s, notice how all of the civilians are running from the monster or atomic radiation, and the military has to guide, treat, transport the civilians & then destroy the monster (probably King Kong or Godzilla). This was an example how the "regimentation" (discipline & tradition) enabled the military to have on hand the "Food, Vehicles, Weapons, Know How, and Determination" to handle chaos & tragedy.
The pre-1990 US Military demanded "tradition", "order", "discipline", and "OBEDIENCE", without which the military "would not be" a military. Prior to the 1990s; Police Officers, Doctors, Pilots, Teachers, Sheriffs, FBI, etc. CAN QUIT WHEN DANGER CONFRONTS THEM...prior to the 90s, not so the military men (Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Soldiers); they were societies last bastion...and they had to hold the line...at the cost of death.
During a 1700s naval battle, British Admiral Horatio Nelson put a telescope to his "blind eye", later claiming he did not see the orders from the flag ship (hoisted flag signals). He was victorious in the pending battle and became a hero; but had he failed, he could have been shot (for disobeying orders).
During the Vietnam War, a Drill Sergeant stated to his new recruits (and strictly referring to infractions); "Men, you can do anything you want in this man's army; but you better not get caught!"
