Treated more like the enemy
The Army is better off without those DIs and this type of publicity reinforces the stereotypes that hinder its ability to fulfill its mission.
Well maybe but then again...oh wait, that's right. af stands for Air Force, no? I rest my case.
Now seriously. After BT/AIT or BCT or whatever it's called these days, and the newly minted patriot-private is sent straight to the lines, gets put on point on a patrol to draw enemy fire, and the enemy actually starts firing, and the patriot-private hesitates and the squad leader starts yelling "Keep moving!" and the patriot-private goes to prone and refuses to move and the young Sgt. grabs him by his LBE and yells into his face "Get the %#@* off the the ground and keep moving!" and the patriot-private finally sees the seriousness of the business and gets to his feet and keeps moving into enemy fire so that the team behind him can finally locate the enemy and destroy it...only then he would understand and appreciate what he went through in BCT.
