Surely there's a good operational balance of the two?
(The only operational use for Limit Strength I can think of off the top of my head is the occasional Hand-to-Hand requirment, short distance wounded buddy carries, and moving equipment - two of which have more to do with technique then pure strength (I'm sure there's others))

Not sure where the conflict would exist.
Training for limit strength doesn't negatively affect short-term muscular endurance or anaerobic endurance.
In my experience, such training greatly enhanced short-term endurance.
YMMV.
