I think the drill instructors got in trouble for doing stuff that all drill instructors do, and I also think that some of the witnesses are exaggerating their stories a bit. If what the drill instructors did is a crime, then all drill instructors should be court marshaled. I know when I went through boot camp I had my toiletries stomped on, I was smacked a couple of times, and I had to down water just like they said, but I never felt like I was getting treated any worse than the next guy. It seems to me like recruits are getting softer and softer these days. Don't think that I'm backing a drill instructor who did indeed break the law, but a drill instructor who is only trying to get his recruits to train the right way shouldn't be ratted out like that.
