so, we're going to act shocked that a military like russia's, known for its strict and unforgiving discipline, might use severe measures to keep order? its harsh, but let's not pretend other militaries dont have their own brutal methods. the thing is, this isnt about officers taking any pleasure in itthey hate having to do it. but in that kind of environment, where maintaining authority is everything, these extreme punishments are seen as effective deterrents. you might find it disturbing, but its proven to get results. its a messy reality, but thats what happens when discipline is the top priority.
