I heard on the radio that drill sergeants used this maneuver to cure the recruits of "homophobia". My understanding was that this was done at least since the 60's or before, when "homophobia" was unheard of, let alone stigmatized by the military. Back then at least, it was homosexuality-not "phobia" the military wanted to root out. Why would the military WANT to eliminate homophobia before the service was forced to admit openly gay recruits?
