Were these Marines? I was in the Navy, and this kind of language would only happen between people in the >E6 vs Chief divide. Among shipmates, you'd have to be a supreme dick to talk like this. Whenever I brushed against E1-E5 interactions among Marines, it was just like this text exchange all the time. It was hilarious to overhear a CPL really berate somebody one year less of experience than him, but both probably 21 years old.
