What Do You Think?

Military Hazing

February 12, 1997 | Issue 31•05

The U.S. military has come under fire for hazing recently, most notably for a controversial videotape depicting Marines "pinning" new recruits, stabbing medals into their chests. What do you think?

Other Guy

Andy Wojcinski,
Sergeant
"After being cruelly hazed at Fort Bragg, I was so emotionally shattered I could barely bomb Iraq."

Guy With Sunglasses

Pete Pappas,
Librarian
"Hazing is an important part of joining any exclusive group. Why, you wouldn't believe the hazing you have to go through to get into the 'Nurses Buried In My Backyard' group."

Blonde Girl

Shelley Thaler,
Homemaker
"As the wife of a Marine, I think that hazing is understandable. Especially when I make bad meatloaf."

Girl With Glasses

Linda Fallon,
Lieutenant
"Here in the U.S. Armed Forces, we're proud to say that today's mistreated recruits are tomorrow's sociopathic loners."

Minority Guy

Orson Brock,
Private First Class
"I'm in the Army, and I've had my head held underwater in a toilet until almost drowning more times before 9 a.m. than most people do all day."

Wimpy Guy

Nate Schneider,
Systems Analyst
"I was tied down, whipped and penetrated anally by four young men. Military? No, I was never in the military, why do you ask?"
