As I said once ago a few years ago when something similar came up on here, Hartman didn't know when to shut up.
If it would've happened in real life, you'd think Hartman would've told Joker to go get everyone out of the barracks and get the mps while he tries to talk him down. Anyone who says they would've done what Hartman did or rushed Pyle is an idiot.

He really didn't think Pyle would shoot him. Under-estimated.

Hell no. I actually found his death quite amusing.

He wanted to turn Pyle into a minister of death. He succeeded only too well.

Well, I don't know if you are supposed to like Sgt. Hartman, since he yells at everybody and insults them. I know he is trying to turn them into lean, mean, fighting machines and you have to be thick skinned to handle him, but I'm sure there were many people who quit over him and if they had heard of his death they didn't lose a wink of sleep.

Felt bad when he didn't get nominated for an Oscar.

I hated that the Sgt. was killed.
He was simply one of the most entertaining characters in American movie history. Every insult was funny. His facial expressions, his voice, his absolute conviction makes him the most convincing Military drill sergeant in movie history.
Is he really going to be scared of Private Pyle. All he did was slap him around hoping to make him mad and tough to prepare him for war. He liked how serious Pyle had become. He probably admired Pyle for his audacity!

R. Lee Ermey made this film.
Too bad he was blown away after the first half, but he must have hated being
an oldish
Gunnery Sergeant so he was probably glad to be put out of his misery. He also said that they would not like him. He didn't concern himself with the sensitivity of others in gaining popularity; that wasn't his job. They got to Parris Island. The more they hated him, the more they would learn. He wanted to create indestructible men. Private Pile was too unhinged at that point and Hartman misread him.
