Military pilots are trained and told to make the planes do everything they can get out of them. Even if it over steps the max design of the plane. Military pilots have been doing that forever.

I never heard any of my commanders express that opinion. I did have one commander who said it was up to each pilot to decide which regs to follow and which to disregard. He lost his command after two of his lieutenants died while performing prohibited maneuvers. That certainly isn't the attitude I expressed when I commanded a squadron of forty pilots. Perhaps your military flying experience was different.
