As LTC Grossman(who as stated was a Airborne Ranger & a PhD in mental health services) wrote, training doctrine, the military law/UCMJ & the education level/skill sets of combat troops changed dramatically from WWI(SLA Marshal's era) to today's OIF/OEF/SW Asia combat missions.
TRADOC or the US Army Training & Doctrine Command & the JAG(US Army Judge Advocate Generals office) must dictate how troops are conditioned/trained & what ROEs/SOPs work best.

The SE Asia Mai-Lai incident & the post-WWII Nurmberg court trials were a part of it too.
