Preachin to the choir amigo, preachin to the choir. I don;t actually have any gripes with the mentality on it's merits. I revel in it, I think it's part of what makes us who we are and part of why we're so damned good at what we do. Non-conscious divisions of labor. Social insects do it too, only they do it genetically rather than sociologically (and to be fair we've engaged in a fair bit of warrior caste breeding programs ourselves). The end effect is that we both produce our rough and tumbles to handle the undesirables.
I don't even want to get rid of the mentality, I just think we'd be better off recognizing that we're doing it, when we do it, lol. The day that the human race turns into the gaggle of civil creatures that we all imagine ourselves to be is the day that my daughters cruel boot is felt on every neck.
(and all of my progeny are going to come correct with every ounce, every centimeter, of "dirty" biological apparatus they possess)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
