Basic training is literally about making them think and act certain way. It is literally about them all teaching exactly same set of super basic skills so that the soldiers are replaceable by the end by each other. There is reason why soldiers personality changes after basic training (that is what their families and partners say).

More complex skills are not taught in basic training, but later in specializations.

Under stress and duress and lack of sleep, people learn less. Moreover, while soldiers do in fact have to work in difficult physical conditions in action, doctors don't.

And I am not even sure what death on itself has to do with it. Conditions of encountering it are incredibly different in both professions.

Try working in an inner city ER at night when it can often feel very similar to a war zone. Instead of sandbags and soldiers with rifles we’re surrounded by bulletproof glass and police officers.

That is nonsense argument. Doctors don't sleep in barracks or on grass, they go home to families. They eat what they choose to eat. They don't dig latrines. They don't have periods (days) of boredom full of made up work combining with short intensive assignments. They can leave the job.

Soldiers are not surrounded by bullet proof glass nor by police officers.
