There are very few ways to get rid of someone who is shitty on the team. Unless they fuck up, all you can do is aggressively ostracize them until they choose to leave, or do something just stupid enough to prompt action from higher. There are plenty of people in the Army who fit the description you quoted in the annotation. They just haven't fucked up big-time enough to get booted. Chelsea was just one soldier who fucked up so badly it made the news. Edit: Of course 99% of people come into Basic as complete fuck-ups but the whole damn point is that you break a bit of a sweat and improve yourself.
