Theres alot of that in the service too, another reason why a person who isn't exactly on board with war might stay in it. The lack of cohesion in the real world is jarring, and can take a long time to get used to again.
It even influences the way I parent (for better or for worse)..with collective punishments and rewards and chores. All in, all together, or not at all - is what I've conditioned them to say, lol. OFC, units and tight knit siblings are tribes unto themselves. The trick appears to be in understanding how and when to extend the umbrella of the tribe outward, or pull it back in.

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!
