As for Sergeants... well, when nearly everyone is rushing forward, what will you as a high-level infantry do? Follow everyone to the front lines and help them to the best of your ability, or stay at the base, wait until everyone is slaughtered and then have an entire wave gang up on you?
This is the big reason. When experienced players are on and they actually work together, things get done. With new people they have no idea what to do so they rush. When the majority of people are new in a server, this means only a few may try to camp near a decent spot to defend. This means they will be overwhelmed when the other redshirts die.
No one will disagree with your rant so its really a moot point. Its just a case by case basis of someone experienced trying to make the others understand (if they need to) that they will survive longer simply by staying together. Once they make them understand a little patience goes a long way, they will usually listen especially if they all die and the player trying to make them understand the virtue of patience and teamwork gets them back in the game on a respawn wave.
