petebrownuk: IT’S VALUABLE! The officers in charge of these soldiers really do need to take proper control of their men! Whilst the soldiers might be quite rightfully angry at the captured rebels for the deaths and injuries caused to their fellows, then need to remember that captured rebels are valuable commodities. In times gone by protocols like the Geneva Conventions protected captured prisoners, but these are no longer applicable as strong, fit rebels can be sold to help defray the costs of fighting them. Unauthorised and impromptu “punishments” of rebels like this damages them, and so when the slavers come to take them away for sale they will pay lower prices for damaged goods! Soldiers must learn not to treat valuable property of the state like this. -- source link
