Having non-lethal capabilities is a valuable asset to soldiers in combatBull. You're in COMBAT. You're not in a bar room brawl.
There's zero asset, apart from wanting someone alive to garner intel. In a firefight, you shoot to kill.

I can see a limited application for the MP Corps, or its Navy and Air Force analogs, but outside of that, a military should have lethality as its very raison d'etre.

Now, all the mis-understood people of the world who hate us will follow our example and use non-lethal, positive feedback methods as well!

Idiot proofing enemies with nonlethals is the wrong way to go and pearls of high tech to swines. This is a net genocide on our troops.
There is no matching “compassion” or sufferance through coming from narcissistic murder/suicide terrorists. It’s oxymoronic to use non lethals on suicide kamikaze “soldiers”.
