Did he intend to do that? Did he set out to do that? No.

Did anyone else break from his training style? No. Ever? Unknown, but he had been a drill sergeant for many years (I forget if the number was mentioned).

At worst, Gunny was guilty of failing to recognize that Pyle had become dangerously unstable. He had thought the boy had finally toughened up and became "a model soldier". Pyle's breakdown was an exception and not the intended goal.

Again, had there been any sort of mention of a review and determination that Gunny's methodology was at fault, then perhaps his inclusion as a Villain might be warranted. As it is, the problem lay with Pyle being fragile and not with the training methods—which did not break anyone else.
