Polymer frames are lighter and frankly a soldier does not want to carry any more weight than they have to.

True, and they're cheaper. Perfect for bean counters. But they're not much heavier. A Beretta M9 with a fully loaded 15 round magazine weighs 41 ounces, while a Glock 17 with a full 17 round magazine weighs 32 ounces.

That's still a quarter of a kilo difference.
