like the pinning of rank during a promotion where the nco punches the jr enlisted. i never fucking hit my guys because it's a dumb fucking "tradition". i don't need to let anyone know i'm in charge because the stripes on my collar fucking said so, not the fact that i can hit you and you have to stand there.
when i earned my eib (expert infantry badge) you get pinned with it on your chest during a ceremony. my squad leader punched it into my chest so hard it bent the pin. you take it, but i wanted to break his fucking neck.
same with blood wings, my dad pinned my wings (jump wings) and as other guys were getting their wings pounded into their chests he looked around and said "what''s the point of that, prove how tough you are in training and on the battlefield" and just pinned them on. it stuck with me.
small part of the docu but i felt like commenting.
