#4 Doc, dentists, nurses, lawyers, and padres do not have command authority. They hold their rank by specific skill. Thus the need for 'security' background is far less than the other Army branches in which 'command authority' is part of the rank.

The classic example is under a POW situation, who is in 'command'. The aforementioned are not the senior officer in charge regardless of rank or date of rank.

#6 Has little to do with Israel.
We lost many good soldiers, combatant and not, with the 'alien marriage' clause. Not only did they and the spouse become socially scarred, they were marked as political pariahs due to 'possible' kidnapping or threats by foreign agents against the in-laws.
