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.
If they’re going to die from standing in the British sun for half an hour, the Army recruitment medical examiners really fucked up.
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.
I guess you could argue the other soldiers are already in too deep? Is that punching down then in this case?
