Spartan mores considered by whom? Athenian aristocrats who wish they too could ignore their political underclass, or Plutarch writing with rose-tinted glasses 300 years thick? It's important to remember that the supposedly equal, ideal, Lycurgean society probably never existed.

Honestly no. The system can't exist without its brutality - even for the Spartiates (What is the agoge but a system for brutalizing children into soldiers, much like what groups like the Lord's Resistance Army does?).

Sparta isn't even that good at fighting - the one thing they do. They are good enough at *battle* - but battle is not war. The very system which produces Spartans ensures that Spartans are too inflexible and too much jerks to actually achieve their strategic aims.
