I'm disappointed to see the soldiers being physically abused by their leaders for poor performance not rebellious disobedience and to make it worse in front of their peers. Praise in public, punish in private. Though the whipping is mild you say you can be sure if they are whipped for poor performance they will be brutalized for rebellious disobedience. I will obey all legal orders regardless of how difficult to the best of my ability but if you physically harm me or my person you have created another enemy. These men have decided to fight for their country and possibly pay the ultimate cost, their very lives but they don't deserve to be abused in the
