As a former infantry man and small arms specialist in the army, im not sure it made me a better hunter cause we are talking about two different things.........but I will say some of the things ive learned have helped me out a bunch. Patience is one of the main things.......while i was in i heard the term "hurry up and wait" and thousand times, and they meant it every time.
Now if I was hunting deer with a claymore or an M60 or an M67 I would have a definate advantage.
