I haven’t the time or inclination to explain myself
to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of
the very freedom that I provide and then questions the
manner I provide. Better just to thank me. Or pick up
a gun and stand a post.”

Reminded me of an old movie, “A Few Goodmen”.
Somehow, these kinds of things are taken to be
the part and parcel of army training. I remember,
in Pakistan that in 2000 a couple of cadets were
asked by their lieutanent to roll down the stairs.
Two of them broke their necks and died. Nothing
happened to the scum of the earth Lieutenant. The
least that should be done them is to met out exactly
the same punishment to these guys if not more i.e.
to hold the grenade with a drawn pin.
