Also, when asking about the lunch menu, A ordered B, who was the senior to C (19) who did not answer, to "make you bang your head like me." Accordingly, B made C bang his head on the floor of the barracks for about 4 minutes.

Judge Park stated, "The senior soldier exercised power to inflict harsh treatment on the victim and instructed the victim to inflict harsh treatment on another junior."
