Interesting. I’m guessing the removal of these troops from their combat units is a measure designed to embarrass them.

Maybe.

Reminds me of Daniel’s decision to not worship the king -— break the law of the land, and rightfuly get punished (Lions’ den, et al) -— but God nonetheless protects you.

Put differently, they were correct, but now have to take their lumps.

I think that the jailing of these troops is designed to show that those in uniform must follow lawful orders.
