Normally, in an all volunteer military that would be true. In a conscript military, it is much more than that. They do not coddle the recruits and if they get out of line, they don't get kicked out, they get thrown in the brig and then make up their service time when they finish their punishment. But, it's all just conversation, and not to be taken seriously. America's momma's would never allow their little children to be barked at harshly by big bad DI's.
