If you ask a veteran what boot camp was like, they will talk about their drill sergeant, the man that turned everyone into soldiers. This is Sergeant Hartman.Sergeant Hartman was played by R. Lee Ermey, a veteran that is now known for being that crazy guy that blows up watermelons on the History Channel. At one time Ermey was actually real-life Marine Corps drill sergeant.
Sergeant Hartman is constantly demeaning the men who he will turn into Marines. He pushes the men to their limits physically, all while constantly insulting and swearing at the men. He sees all his men as being “unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit.” It is hard to believe that Sergeant Harman, an unbelievably horrible character, is something completely factual. Think of him as a really good insult comedian, but if you laugh he makes you do push-ups, or he just hits you.
