I'd like to note that on the Spartans tip, while the Army hasn't taken the step of encouraging homosexuality, they have fully-embraced the rubric of small-unit-cohesion as a motivation for fighting. My man Lande studied this as part of his inquiry into Carnal Sociology. Told me all about it.
Basically, as opposed to patriotism or nationalism, which are much more spotty and fallable motivators, if you get a group of solders to really care about one another (by keeping 100 to 150 of them in close social contact through formative physical and emotional experiences) and you have a command and control apparatus that can then place that group in a situation where they must kill to survive, they're remarkably and reliably effective.
