Yes, I was a military officer. Soldiers acted up a little bit, 14 days restriction 14 days extra duty and 250 dollars taken out of their check. A little bit more, 45 days restriction 45 days extra duty and 2/3rds their pay for 3 months. A little more Leavenworth. I did not have much problems, If you executed people for shoplifting there would be a lot less shoplifting would be my guess or punching people in the face. There is no reason to do that so execution to me is reasonable. Sun Tzu was asked by an emperor why should I make you my General, Sun Tzu said I can control any group, The Emperor laughed, OK if you can control my concubines, I will make you General, Sun Tzu says I can if the Emperor does not interfere with my as a military leader. He explained a task to the Concubines, he then asked them to do it. They laughed, Sun Tzu said I will appoint two leaders. I will explain it once again and have my leaders explain it. If you do not do it the leaders will face consequences. He asked them again, Again they laugher, Sun Tzu beheaded leaders then appointed 2 more, from then on they were able to do what is asked. This may not be exactly as in book, but you can look it up, so yes basically having this go on is gut less leaders.
