i am a marine and from that video the drill instructor barely hit that recruit. i understand there are rules and the drill instructor should have to answer to the consequences, however, he was not responsible for the drowning. i was not there so i don’t know even how the recruit drowned and it should be investigated. please don’t try to blame the marine corps training system over an accident. the marine corps is very special to marines because of the intense training we go through and confidence we gain from the training. drill instructors actually do have a reason behind their madness, fact is, d.i’s have the upmost respect for recruits, they do care, that’s why they are there for countless hours to train them. d.i’s are actors, they have to act like they hate recruits, they put stress on them, they push them. they do it to every recruit, and not just weak ones. if you don’t understand the training and what it’s for don’t comment on it. 20,000 recruits make it through marine corps boot camp every year so it isn’t impossible, you can make it through.
