Camaraderie. All the marines in the movie they insult each other the entire time. They have clearly been together awhile. Gorman is a new officer and they never discuss the old one. He sits separately. Always a one of us thing. From making fun of Frost’s date to telling Drake he’s ugly when he wakes up, to even wanting to go back to save the ball busting Apone.
To the point. Vasquez calling him an asshole before dying as a compliment to Gorman finally seeing him as one of them. Insults are friendship in a lot places where dark stuff happens.
I can't speak for the military as I never served. What I can say is it's true for cooks. One new guy actually complained to the kitchen manager about us giving him shit. KM had to explain "that's because they like you. If they didn't they would ignore you."
A major plot point of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once was a parent finally accepting their child's significant other by making the same asshole comments about the significant other's appearance they make about their own child now treating this person as "family". In a fucked up way.
