In response to a private conversation I'd like to point out that I'm not patronising anyone, it's just that the military culture is opaque to civilians. I know heaps of soldiers and half of what they say is in another language to me
But it does bring out the fact that the name of the game is military roleplaying and so some sort of happy medium must be met. I think perhaps a better introduction to life in the military in the rules might do that but that might scare off new players.
