I agree with you that these types of guys probably don't make the majority, but it sure makes you wonder about their selection process when not only do people who are not fit to marines filter through, but people who aren't even fit to breathe the same air get through. It's one thing to miss someone who might not be able to handle the duties, but it's another to miss people who are complete sociopaths.

I also can't help but think that when things like this are caught on tape, it probably means there are numerous times that it goes by unnoticed. The fact that these marines seemed pretty comfortable doing it and taping it suggests to me that it wasn't that out of the ordinary.
