Can drill instructors hit you in boot camp?

No. Anyone saying yes is either way out of touch or just shitting you.

If you (the recruit) pose a physical threat by initiating physical contact, yes. Aside from that instance. No, they are not allowed to.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
