MDs are very very good at doing one thing - diagnosing and treating medical conditions in the clinic. And not telemedicine - in person (we have lots of results that telemed is only good for stuff like mental health checks). They're shit at everything else. Literally everything. Now, they can be taught to do the other stuff (they're definitely smart enough), but, they don't. It's either too boring or doesn't pay enough for them to care. And don't bring up that the majority of health outcomes are fixed/determined outside of the clinic - in ones home, fridge, and if you exercise (social determinants of health SDoH).
Part of it is that med schools pound you to death with material so to try to teach relevant soft skills would only make it longer/more expensive, but also the people that become MDs are generally autistic would-be biochemistry professors who wanted more money instead.
Are there good MDs, sure! They're rare.
As for a military analogy - think of them more like super super specific warrant officers but without the years of experience to become a WO. So, minimal accountability in the hierarchy, minimal idea of how to do anything beyond their particular subject matter (ie. they're not 1st sausage/leadership), and generally aloof.
The best I can say about them is that most of them realize that they're good at what they do and they stay in clinic and leave the rest of us to manage/organize/improve/fund the hospital itself.

Generally, if someone's in that kind of state - you can just look at them and go "yeah, that's shock, you're getting the meds".

No, at least the nurses have the decency to realize that their RN is nothing in fields outside of care provision. Showing them any kind of coding or stats will make them scurry off.
