"It is a fallacy that intellectual awareness of what is happening can always prevent a man from being indoctrinated.

Are there no one who has seen the scene in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, where a soldier can't take the abuse in boot camp no more, so he kills Gny.Sgt.
I think it's sad to watch the fresh soldiers get treated like cattle, like deaf cattle. They are such good teachers, that only the lesser smart soldiers need attention. They take extra time out for the soldier who has trouble getting something, and they go through it until the soldier gets it. But if you make a mistake several times, they don't get in your face and act out in front of fellow soldiers. They don't get the treatment like they are children just because they are in boot camp. In Norway we respect the young man or woman even if they are in boot camp. so without the bully tactic they use all day long in US military, i grew into a good soldier, fast. I told you that i wasn't a very good soldier, but they never yelled or talked down to, 50 days later, i was platoon leader. I can't understand what the reason for the yelling, and talking down to cadets are anything but being a bully. I was no very good soldier, but i wasn't yelled at, or talked down too once in the 3 months i was in the army before i was medically discharged from service. The Norwegian special forces are seen on some of the very best soldiers in the world. I have been in the army, the Norwegian army. Or take a lot of insults in combat, so why train them that way!? Makes no sense. They are never going to yell a lot in combat. That way of training soldiers are not the way to train human beings, no matter what their job is. The insults and verbal attacks, which is government sanctioned program. It shows the inhumane conditions at boot camp. It is pretty straight forward, but edited to a documentary masterpiece. The film is like being a fly on the wall in an American military boot camp. Excellent timing and an amazing thing to watch on screen! The most memorable visual: the flock of birds flying in unison in a peaceful San Diego skyline, then the camera pans down to reveal soldiers marching in unison.
The access he has been granted at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego is an innovation in itself. Canaan Brumley brings us an eye-opening documentary. I can't even imagine how enduring the recruits themselves have to be throughout their training. But somehow, you can feel the extenuation and pain that some of these recruits have to endure. Not that the images themselves were difficult to see. I personally found it shocking but very insightful at the same time.

Because the movie is not editorial in nature, Canaan Brumley lets the viewers make their own opinions.
The dis-intermediation makes you plunge into the world of a boot camp. Usually, the camera acts as an intermediate between the subjects and the public. It's not the typical format that one would expect from a documentary. That aside, an extraordinary look at MCRD San Diego. The only fault I had with this was in not identifying the different recruits and what they were in the platoon. This video is well worth the time to watch, if for no other reason than to understand where a Marine comes from. It captures the DIs too in moments where they are "off," talking among themselves to watch a recruit in need as well as when they are on, screaming to the point of incomprehension, trying to get a recruit to learn. It shows the recruits at their worst, and at their best, as they try to navigate the course from civilian to Marine. This documentary catches the day-to-day training and teaching that goes on. Everything the DIs do is for a reason though to the recruits, it doesn't seem like it. Poignant, funny, frightening and ultimately triumphant, this video is a must for anyone who has been in the service, is contemplating going into the service or just wants to understand the journey a young man takes to become a Marine. However the Marines have the toughest boot camp of any branch of the military and after the first few moments, my memories faded and I watched what my son went through last year to become a U.S. The first moments of this documentary brought me back to my first few hours basic training with all of the confusion, fear and yelling.
