I hear you, but to be fair anal-retentive attention to detail has always been a feature of military service, even in World War II. Paul Fussell, a writer who served as an infantry officer in World War II, wrote a chapter in one of his books about what was referred to as "chickenshit". Basically it refers to any small-minded and petty discipline that had nothing to do with winning the war. Having to wear a reflective belt in a combat zone is a great example of chickenshit.

Probably not. The stress under danger can be equivalent to torture.

This book cites studies done during WWII regarding how long it took for soldiers to become effectively useless due to the accumulation of stress in combat.
