WE expect 18-22 year old marines to enter areas under fire from the enemy yet still retain enough composure to not indescriminantly kill every civilian and bad guy in site.

Just the opposite. We expect them to destroy ever bad guy they see and try to keep the collateral to a minimum.
I don't think it is that difficult a thing to teach. FWIW, I would think a soldier being shot at is experiencing a lot more of an adrenaline rush than a cop who wants to drive fast.
Its actually pretty close to the same if you're going fast enough and you can't tell if the shooting is directed specifically at you. At least to me.
