Then I would offer that they aren't training effectively.
There's definitely some of that, but there's also the human reaction to the horror of what's happening. Soldiers with exactly the same training, in many cases all together, go into combat. Some do amazing, heroic things. Others curl up in a ball and do nothing. They KNOW what to do, but sometimes the shock and horror is too much. Not everyone can deal with it, and it's very difficult to tell which one you'll be until you've been in that situation, with real bullets, and real casualties, and blood and screaming and all of the mental stress that goes with it.
Could perfect training overcome that? In theory, maybe, but I don't think anyone's found that yet.
