I don't understand why there is so much shock? Those 'conscripts' are there to serve required two years. In reality they don't do anything or can do anything during their time. If ranking officer feels like using their labor in order to feed them good food, much better than chaw hall, and teach them experience of working, that should be rewarded. Just because he had an accident, that is not fault of that officer but of that soldier. Also, that is a standard practice since beginning of times to utilize help of soldiers and build ‘civilian-military’ relationship.
