Re: Soldiers' Right to Carry
All the states that require a course, such as Texas and Utah, require the course to be taught by a state-certified instructor. As far as I know, Utah is the only one that allows their course to be taught outside the state.
Probably Texas law is not going to change because no one is pushing to change it; and it would be a pretty significant change.
Other states, such as Florida, require only a general handgun safety certification. Florida accepts some military qualifications. I don't know the details.

Re: Soldiers' Right to Carry
Sure. Any resident of any state can apply for a Texas non-resident license. Military personnel who claim Texas residence can get a resident license (Government Code 411.173).
The only hang-up is that the CHL course must be conducted in Texas. Probably some military personnel would benefit from a Florida or other non-resident license, which doesn't require in-state testing and is cheaper anyway.
