The "command" would be well-advised to leave things like this alone until the battlefield is secure.

There will be plenty of time later on to sort it all out.

Indiscipline, if not checked, will render any unit combat-ineffective very quickly--because the small bits of indiscipline

I know soldiers who served in the Americal Division in Vietnam. That unit got a reputation for beating prisoners (earned early, and maintained throughout their time in country), getting their a$$es kicked by the NVA (began to be earned after they settled into beating prisoners), and fragging officers who attempted to cure those unhappy conditions.
