I know from talking to drill/gunny sergeants at Parris Island it is very prevalent there, hence all services.

Not allowed to discipline, expectations are watered down, etc, etc......compared to pre permissive America.

Just a thought.
I’m reminded of something I heard from an admiral while I was on active duty. He asked us how it could be that 95% of the officers in his command had fitness reports rating them in the top 1%. This was 30+ years ago, so this is not a new thing.
