In American media, Drill Sergeants are often portrayed as mean and shouty. Yelling at recruits / treating them like garbage.
The only thing I could think of is that they’re going for a “military service is hard so I’m going to make this as unpleasant for you as possible because life is hard” kind of thing, but couldn’t discipline be instilled in soldiers without the yelling and humiliation? Why is this the only way?

traditionally yes. military training was to break down the recruits and then mold them into suitable disciplined soldiers. but more recently, that type of training is going away and the military is becoming a more welcoming training program.
