One of those administering the punishments says: “It was their fault your guys were killed. Come over here and I’ll give them to you so you can tear them to pieces.”
Surely, they will be steadfast and honorable soldiers from here on out and not shoot the people who beat them with sticks and mentally scarred them by shooting near their heads in a mock execution when given fully automatic weapons in the future.
Reminds me of the Japanese Army in Ww2. Treating your subordinates like absolute shit causes the lowest ranks to think its normal to treat civilians and pows like absolute shit.
