It seems neither of you two understood that post. Nor was I being disingenuous or talking about hazing. When you don't understand something and clearly P4P has no understanding about service members or the military it is probably a good idea to ask for clarification before popping off with bigoted comments.

I don't really have the time to cover all the facets of leadership, team building, espirit de corp, duty, integrity etc but everyone has their own leadership style so let me clear some things up. All Soldiers go through an adjustment period where they transition from their civilian lives to a military lifestyle. Most do it with a few minor hiccups to include inner city kids. Most issues require small azimuth checks and corrective training but insubordination cannot be tolerated. A Soldier that is insubordinate will get verbally counseled and then written counselings. So once we reach a point where I've exhausted all of my tools to adjust a Soldiers behavior it becomes the commanders discretion of what type of UCMJ he will face (loss of rank, time, pay, confinement etc). When a Soldier tells me that he doesn't have to listen to some honkey that he doesn't respect b/c I'm not from the street I'd explain that we can do 1 of 2 things: 1 I can make my recommendation to the commander for UCMJ or we can go behind the barracks and handle it man to man. On the two occasions this happened the Soldiers both decided they'd whip my ass. We came back from the barracks with a few bumps and scrapes respectively and the Soldier had a new perspective that for starters they weren't nearly as tough as they thought they were and two that maybe this honkey might be a good guy to follow into combat. The story to explain the bumps and scrapes was to tell the commander they "fell down the stairs" or "slipped in the shower". That was why I used the quotation marks. The end result was a Soldier becoming a valuable part of his team and not having a UCMJ violation over his head. But hey according to P4P we are all a bunch of low moral mouth breathers so whatever is clever I suppose.
