>Two people can be good friends one week and decide they hate each others' guts the next week. And then they can go back to being friends again the week after.

Yes.

"I thought this high school bullshit was over!" is one of the most depressingly funny phrases I've ever heard eighteen-year-olds repeatedly utter.

Yeah, steer clear of anyone who loudly proclaims they "hate drama". It's like when a two-year-old starts saying they're 'not tired'.

Considering soldiers are usually only a year or few out of high school, the answer is yes.

Boys get like this too. It's an affliction of the high-school aged.
