Just saying because i have worked with a lot of younger guys that are hot headed and like to talk crap, that cant take being corrected or yelled at by their boss at work and argue and mouth off back all the time.
So my obvious question is what happens when a young guy who is still immature and prone to mouthing off (not being sarcastic or a smart ass like Joker was with the John Wayne comment) but someone that gets angry at being yelled at or doesnt like being screamed and yelled at especially when they screw up or make mistakes too much and gets angry at shouts right back at the Drill Instructors or says something like beep you right back to their face?
I have seen it a lot at jobs and places before, the young guys with the big egos that dont like anyone to give them a hard time or get angry too easily, Hartman wouldnt scare them and they might just get very angry with him, having been in a lot of fights or drunken confrontations in bars or clubs.
It is one thing to deal with a wise ass like Joker who is being cute and learns his lesson with pain, it is another to deal with a punk or snot nosed kid who has anger issues or worse has a father or mother that lets him mouth off to them and doesnt punish him, then he joins and resorts to his usual method of mouthing off and using profanity or arguing in boot camp, thinking that the DI will blow it off and not be hard on them or they just dont care and talk crap and get into trouble because the Marines dont fire you for talking back. -

I couldn't tell you because I wasn't dumb enough or disrespectful enough to try. That being said, I did get busted by my Drill Sarn't when I was doing an impression of him for my buddies. All he said was, "that doesn't sound me," and walked away. So you never know. Sometimes they're larger than life and you're sure they're gonna eat you alive, and other times, they can be human.

In this scene, you will gargle with mouthwash! Andaction!
