As someone who has nothing to do with the army/military. There's two principals that I've always liked about it, maybe more but two stand out.
1. No one gets left behind.
2. People work together for mission wins and mutual survival.
I have had a rough time in my professional career finding either of those at places of employment even in small bits. my latest job being the best at it but still struggling sometimes.
Maybe that gets romanticized a bit in books and movies, but I think companies would be way more successful with more people operating on those principals.
US industry teach us to fiercely compete, be an individual, destroy our competition. US military says almost the exact opposite barring that the competition is outside your group. Somehow these are both the best but seem to be at complete odds with one another.
