I think so, too, but I see mainly evolutionary processes at work: Groups with religious zealotry had higher chances of winning and therefore could procreate more than moderates, which imprinted that tendency in the human genome.

Another concept would be initiation and masculinity rituals with different milestones. At one point, it is part of your mentality to accept the inevitable, if necessary.

The problem with the latter is the limits to familiarity. There are several genetic limits to trust. One is the family with a dozen people, next comes the clan at \~150 members and then comes the limit to anonymity at \~5000 people.

Depending on the size of your army, you have to use different motivation methods. Above 5000 soldiers, only the the fanatic cult works and if you don't have that, you have to work with other individual and mass psychological tricks.

Also look at military unit sizes. They are all resembling these thresholds. I guess you could even make the argument that armies adapting to them have always been stronger than others putting the wrong emphasis on unit size.

Now you can ask yourself what happens or what you have to do for success in war without social cohesion, without religion and with gender stuff and the outlawing of manhood rituals.
