I think the trainee got off lightly -- and the Drill Sergeant did nothing wrong. You can't try to poke a wet noodle up a wildcat's ass in a phone booth and not expect to get scratched.

CSM Richard StCyr and Cpl (Join to see) - The credit goes to my po' ol' Pappy. He wasn't born in this century-- or the last. He was born in the 1800s and had a treasure trove of colorful metaphors. Every once in a while some idiot like the trainee in the video will pull some stupid stunt that brings to mind one of my father's colorful metaphors.

SGT Robert Pryor My GP was born in 1902, died in 1989 while we were on a boat off the coast of north carolina. Didn't find out until the exercise was over, two weeks later. Miss him every day.

In my opinion both need some quality time on the carpet. The trainee obviously has issues with authority, respect and underlying racial problems that make you wonder if you'd want him serving next to you. The DI handled the insult and disrespect in a highly unprofessional manner and made things worse by signaling the troop to come on after he was restrained. Not a good representation of Army Values or the NCO Creed in action.
On a side note, it's odd how the article goes from addressing the event and the impropriety of both Soldiers actions to an unrelated sexual assault incident that occurred in the past . This event had absolutely no relation to sexual assault.

I was wondering this also. Were they filming a documentary or something?

I’ve been hit by a DS with a cleaning rod. <insert shrug emoji here>
