"Troops are encouraged the whole time."

You making stuff up too. Actually one of the basic concepts in some boot camps is to break you down and build you back up.

I'm not knowledgable in USA boot camps or the such but the ones in Israel I am knowledgable enough.

For start, most people join the army by choice (not the case in Israel, but it's still the majority).

Secondly, boot camps rarely last more than 2 months and you still get time for yourself and able to go out every week or so.

Third, the troops ARE encouraged the whole time (most of it at least), they're encouraged to do the best they can and to do it together, they are taught to be self less (telling on someone will get both the teller and the told to be punished unless it's one of a few strict major crimes).

Fourth, you've seen way too many movies.
