Sergeant Carter

or Sergant Hartman?

I'm sure there are some real softies serving as DIs in the USMC but my Army DIs in the 60's were more like Hartman than Carter.

Did they include the episode where Private Pyle shoots the Sergeant in the latrine, and then proceeds to off himself?

As coincidence would have it, Jack Webb in "The D.I." was the 'Movie of the Week' on television during my very first leave after USMC Boot Camp in 1966; it ran daily for the whole week...he did a decent job, but he was too soft compared to those A-holes I'd just dealt with.

At the time, I was very pleased to hear that a buddy from the same training platoon had seen Sergeant Landers' body in a ditch in Vietnam some months later. That was one guy (head DI) who knew the true definition of sadism.

(A couple of years ago, I Googleized the Vietnam Wall and found out that Landers hadn't been offed after all - so no need for me to feel guilty after all)
