British Army sergeant majors are being urged to stop shouting at junior recruits lest they upset their delicate sensibilities.
The use of calm, soothing words more in the style of avuncular footballer David Beckham and less like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in the film Full Metal Jacket has been offered up as an alternative model.
In the 1987 film Hartman has responsibility for a bunch of Vietnam recruits who quickly learn just who is in charge at boot camp:
Regimental Sergeant Majors (RSMs) have typically always used shouted orders in the same style to enforce discipline and focus attention on the immediate task at hand.

Yelling might exacerbate the recruits anal incontinence.
I hope they tell their enemies to use the soft bullets on those ‘thenthitive’babies and to be sure to stick pacifiers in their butts when the are being tortured after being captured.
Don’t be hurting their feelings! ROTFL!
To pretend to meet your defense spending obligations.
Better question is WTH are we still in NATO.
You at least took the ideas out of my head, if not exactly the words out of my mouth.
Nice screen name.
... yet the British clearly have no problem with Religion of Terror (the “ROT”) cult members screaming “alley-yakbar!” when they terrorize civilized citizens.
They’ll be issuing point-ed sticks next...
Wanna buy a British Army rifle?......never been fired and only dropped once.
I have been studying the Peninsula campaign in Portugal between Britain, Spain and against Napoleon’s French army. The Duke of Wellington was brilliant. No wonder he won at Waterloo. I can’t conceive of him running an army like this.
I know it’s bad form to read the articles, but, there is no claim that this is official British Army policy, it’s just one limp-wristed WO’s opinion being amplified.
> Why even have an army? <
The British Army is a pathetic shell of its former self. But it will be useful if and when native Brits rise up against the UK Deep State. Give those malcontents “a whiff of grapeshot”, then it’s back to business as usual.
Side note to the UK Deep State: Just be sure the Army is on your side. Russia’s Tsar Nicholas II thought his army was loyal to him. It wasn’t.
“Is there anyone else who has something better to do this afternoon than marching up and down the square? Right, off you go.”
And PLEASE do something about quieting explosions and guns. So unnerving. How’s a guy supposed to think!
One. At. A. Time. People!
Fortunately for me, no American sergeant majors ever yelled at me when I was a recruit. No once. I don’t remember even seeing one. Now, plenty of staff sergeants yelled at me. One time, they even made me do push-ups, while yelling at me.
What delicate snowflakes.
The United Kingdom is doomed.
Even Gomer Pyle wasn’t that sensitive.
