I don’t see any of the other “soldiers” moving in to help here

It's crazy how hard people miss the memo on this.

You are in parade formation. One of your coworkers collapses from strain. You do not help because your boss hazed you into subservience. This is fine because idk maybe someone else will be by to handle things eventually.

Fucking corporatist mindset on steroids. People are denuded of their empathy in their quest to perfectly follow orders.

I wonder how any one of these freaks behave in a torture blacksite when their bosses line up another round of "enemy combatants" for waterboarding...

    Literally the dedicated medical team monitoring everyone and equipped and prepared for this common situation.

    I think his point is that intentionally putting someone where they are likely to pass out isn't a good thing.

    Even worse when you put them in wildly inappropriate clothing. And a oven for a hat. For... showing off.

    And lastly, it should be noted that people (even young healthy ones) literally die from heat exhaustion.

    We actually don't know what happened, locking your knees can cause this as well. I'm not disagreeing with you, it is absolutely an unnecessary display with some archaic traditions. But calling the other soldiers "freaks" for letting the trained and available medical professionals handle the situation was unfair.

    Thank you, finally someone else with some empathy not excusing every stupid unnecessary thing monarchs force on their subjects. Even ones in the military.
