I listened to the real Swofford on the DVD commentary, he says he was pissed he went through all the training and never got to use it. I haven't read the novel though, need to check it out.
No offense to him, but he seems like a yahoo who watched to many macho John Wayne movies as a kid. Everyone wants to be Joker in Full Metal Jacket:
"I wanted to be the first kid on my block to get a confirmed kill..."
