Sparta is always painted so heroically.  America seems to want to emulate it since the 40's.

Sparta was the North Korea of Antiquity.  There was little about them that was admirable.

Not even fighting in the shade?

That was my point. Americans tend to idealize the most violent and grotesque cultures.

How else would the powerful get the commoners to die for them in wars, if they didn't glorify and romanticize it?
