* '''Justified''': Bob's goal is to toughen up his recruits and/or weed out the weak ones - it's not his job to be nice or friendly; after all, their enemies won't have any mercy for them [[WarIsHell in a real battlefield]], so those who want to make it need to be prepared for it well ahead of time.

** Drill Sergeants are held to professional standards of ethics. The goal is to train good soldiers, not kill or maim them or turn them into [[SociopathicSoldier sociopaths]].


Added DiffLines:

** The government behind the military just doesn't give a shit about war crimes and actively wants its soldiers to be brutal in order to further the country's genocidal policies. Drill instructors violently abuse and torture recruits in order to break them into cruel brutes who will take out their anger on enemy soldiers and civilians.

* '''Played For Laughs''': Bob's drills inevitably devolve into shouting matches of him demanding that his recruits DareToBeBadass, and the recruits yelling back at the top of their lungs until Bob is satisfied with their attitude. Thanks to Bob working up his recruits that way before training, they routinely beat the assignments [[UnstoppableRage with unstoppable ferocity]].
