Is there a chance that Erikson, being the archaeologist and (presumed as a corollary) history buff somehow has absorbed by osmosis some of the guff that the military had honour back in the day because all we have is the mythos from ancient Greece etc?
Historian Rutger Bregman has some opinions about this. He's written a lot about this too, see for instance his books Humankind and Utopia for Realists. Most of his earlier writing might be in his native Dutch, but these are in English, as is this short youtube interview.
