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?
