Legalized Hazing

[MysticCat]

None of the examples you give are hazing, "technically" or otherwise, because they all lack an essential element of what constitutes hazing -- that the activity is being engaged in or endured in order to achieve initiation into an organization or maintain membership in that organization.

I'm sure the military would be interested to hear that.

Only if you are reporting a case of hazing.
Hazing is also against Military Code of Conduct.
And yes, as with GLO's, it does happen.

As jon notes, the military already understands hazing quite well, including the definition of what constitutes hazing. Whether it chooses to do anything about it may be a different question.

But in case it's what you're getting at, boot camp =/= hazing.
