Sure, we have our own issues to deal with, but President Trump and the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth are working to correct that, but the Brits continue to try and appease the insane.

“Stop Shouting! Army Sergeant Majors Told Not to Yell at ‘Sensitive Recruits’”

Link to Breitbart.

“The use of calm, soothing words more in the style of avuncular footballer David Beckham and less like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in the film Full Metal Jacket has been offered up as an alternative model.”

There’s a link to a funny Monty Python bit in the article, as well as the classic clip from FMJ.

Utter bollocks! As we say over here.

Oddly, recruits in the British Armed Forces are not subjected to the maniacal tirades associated with Gunny Hartmann - we just don't do things that way.

But shout at a recruit? Sure.

Nobody EVER shouted at me like that when I did MY basic training the late 1967 - when there was no such thing as 'woke'.

The worst I ever heard was addressed to one poor bugger who was totally uncoordinated to the point of moving his left arm forward along with this left leg. 'You idle piece of sheep-shagger's snot! [he was Welsh, hence the reference to the alleged proclivity of the Welsh to regard a flock of sheep as an opportunity not to be missed]. Why are you are poncin' around my square like a spastic in a magnet factory?!!!'
