The Spartans built one of the finest armies in the ancient world, but their cult

The Spartans built one of the finest armies in the ancient world, but their culture was so harsh that the word “spartan” has become synonymous with an austere way of life. Spartan society was dominated by a sense of duty to the city-state, and citizens were given no choice about participating in this strict military regime.
Using at least 3 specific examples, analyze how Sparta laid the foundation for modern military values. (You may want to determine what modern military values are first.)
Paper must be at least 800 words and have in-text citations or footnotes from four different sources.
