Comparing ancient Spartans to anything in modern society other than the Nazis is quite pointless. The reason that the Nazis work well for a comparison is because they modelled parts of their military training on the Spartan society. (Not to mention the outright persecution/destruction of the Helites/Jews).
For one thing: a Spatan would be appalled by the inclusion of Women (and the exclusion of homosexuals) from our modern military.
That's just one thing. I encourage everyone to learn more about the Spartans and their militaristic society.
