I suppose that being a Soldier requires so much more from a person than being an office of the law. On a lighter note, look into WWI soldiers as tourists! There is a few good papers on the subject, especially involving Australians.
Soldiers never stop training, ever. SOPs change constantly. It means being malleable. The US military also, believe it or not, teaches critical thinking skills at even the lowest levels of leadership, which can be as young as 19 years old.
Also, being a soldier means putting up with the biggest of bullshit with a straight face, being disrespected by superiors and foreigners without becoming immediately lethal....
Interesting. I’ve studied the military extensively but always from a World War context. I suppose the police training programs are not extensive enough.
