Abstract: --
Excerpt:
How long does this last?
It can last for hours. It depends how bored the soldiers are, they can stretch it out for two hours. It's an eight-hour shift. Got to get through it somehow.
And who is made to stand in formation?
Everyone, all age groups.
Women? Children? Elderly people?
Yes. Whoever shows up. Whoever shows up, stands in formation. There were the more sensitive soldiers who'd let the women and elderly go. I'd say the elderly were less harassed. And there were soldiers who'd harass the elderly. Like in any society, this company too, some soldiers abused more and others less. Some had absolutely no restraint and abused anyone.
