Fear response. I had to get life threatening surgery a few years ago and couldn't stop laughing and smiling in panic.

The Drill Instructors' dialogue and banter with the new recruits. The first scene can be very funny to watch if you're in the right mood. Not just the creativity and sheer virtuosity of Ermey's insults (which is why he ultimately got the job after lobbying, Kubrick finally came around and realized that his sheer improvisational ability, informed by having actually done the job, simply couldn't be replicated by just some actor), but also the general absurdity of war itself, a major throughline in all of Kubrick's work.
I like the Disney stuff, a basic acknowledgement of the pervasive Disney popular culture. Drill Sgt crosses over to the guys about who just made the comment, "THE FAIRY FUCKING GODMOTHER SAID IT!!!" This refers specifically to the character in the Disney Cinderella movie. Later, IIRC there's a Mickey Mouse in the background in the magazine building, which has lots of fun props, American flags, cartoon characters and shit like that, but it all masks the horror and depravity of war, how shit actually gets done. We need to lie or edit copy to sell the war to our troops, boys. Keep morale up. This props bric-a-brac, the basic medium shots, the "official" culture of it all, compares very well with Ullman's room in the early Shining interview scenes. Danny has a Mickey Mouse sweater of his own, later on, a common children's item. And at the end, the boomer soldiers realize they need to keep their own morale up, something they've learned to do. So they organically figure out a song to sing together. Something they all know. The Mickey Mouse Club song.

The whole situation is extremely silly. I've been in the same position and laughed as well. An angry manlet screaming a bunch of bullshit at you while you all play pretend is extremely retarded.

Just don't let the boomer yell at you? I literally don't get it. Just don't do what they say if you don't want to.

only time I was ever freaked out in basic or the military is the middle of august and someone yelled gas gas gas.
closest I ever got to heat stroke as we were running up and down a hill.
never came as close again.
the rest of it is far too easy to deal with to take seriously.

True, but once in a great while retards can actually appreciate the silliness or absurdity of a situation a bit better than normies. I was once in a college class with two low-functioning autistic types, about American immigration. Everyone else was either some normie or a very liberal, "woke"* type who took themselves way too seriously. In one class we watched a movie called Hester Street with Carol Kane, which depicted jewish immigrant hardship in old New York. IIRC the husband beats her, and then there's this scene where some police officer or other authority figure interviews her. The actual point of the scene is that she realizes that if she plays dumb, she can get away from her asshole husband, thus winning. The delivery of the scene is in fact funny, which the other two (and myself, and the professor) realized, but none of the others got it, or refused to get it, because they felt that you can never laugh in a situation involving abuse, or something. Although the other guy was very gross and oblivious, which was funny in itself, in that moment, in understanding the humor before us, we were the only real human beings in the room.
*I acknowledge that this term is over-used and now banal, but it accurately describes what I was dealing with. Happily, I was in my senior year and I knew that I wouldn't have to deal with these people for long. I took my gentleman's B and got out, having completed a degree in something more meaningful.

>someone yelled gas gas gas.
Our fucking Lt came sprinting around a corner and screamed "INCOMING"
That was an uncomfortable shift from playing war in the forest to "oh fuck oh shit".
