Why didnt they just kick him out of boot camp?
Why didnt they just kick him out of boot camp?
Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?
It's imperative that humiliaton is part of it.
Because the whole point of boot camp is training and unlearning old bad habits ya dingus
(((((They))))) needed to kill as many people as possible in Vietnam
they don't kick people out of boot camp. in boot camp they've paid for everything on your behalf so they'll try to pass you no matter how retarded or out of shape you are, and if nothing else they'll make you cannon fodder. officers are the ones who actually risk not passing, because their jobs are more important and they pay their own way.
Drafting is inhumane, 21th century wars should be waged by the professional armies
Because like all militaries they needed to be gay about it so instead of tossing him out they tossed in sadistic psychological amd physical abuse.
Plus it was Nam and at this point they were desperate for bodies to the point of LITERALLY recruiting downies and other retards.
In Nam soldiers would throw a grenade in their officers tent to stop them from sending them on a suicide mission
Because they needed sand bags
is that actually true? wtf
because its a world of shit
Look up Fragging
Why didn't Pyle just kick the shit out of the drill seargent? What was he gonna do, bully and humiliate him?
It was real WAR, zoomer. None of this Ukraine shit where Russia will give in because McDonald's banned them.
I remember a guy shit his pants and played the crazy card to get out of basic training. He ended up being stuck in a purgatory holdover platoon for much longer than if he had finished his gay training.
I'm sure that fixed it
I'm pretty sure attacking a superior officer could get you the firing squad back then.
>they don't kick people out of boot camp
Yes, they do. Witnessed multiple people kicked out. Popped on urinalysis, undisclosed medical issues, fighting, etc.
>they've paid for everything
No, they don't. Every item is paid for by the person receiving it. Either directly or indirectly by way of the McWages being paid. Training costs are bullshit that's already been allocated, learn2accounting101.
>they'll try to pass you no matter how retarded or out of shape you are
This is typically correct.
>they'll make you cannon fodder
They're more important as budget line items than bullet sponges.
>officers are the ones who actually risk not passing
No, once they're in training they're pretty fucking safe.
depends on the year and the war
2003-2004 they were taking in anyone with tons of waivers
late 2000s this started to die down and restrictions were less laxed
wrong
Neither of you slackers know anything about it. Pipe up.
Or down, even.
The Vietnam war happened in the 20th century user
It's literally where the term "Fragging" came from
Any good kinos that display the horrors of the vietnam war?
