I really don't think you know what you're talking about here. Officers tend to be assholes to make sure enlisted will die for them? I spent four years as an officer in the Army and just about every officer I worked with or under were some of the most straight forward people. Assholes? Definitely not - more laid back/cool-headed than anything.
Now some of the Sergeants were HUGE assholes to the soldiers. Like previous posts have stated, many times this was done to instill discipline and make sure soldiers were "automatic" in combat.
