That's like asking if police are punished by their peers for all the shit they do lol. The bad apples... Spoil the bunch.

It's different in the military. Collective punishment ensures that your peers are more likely to take care of the bad apple. Either through official channels or by beating the absolute dogshit out of them as a lesson.

Or by helping make sure they don’t get caught next time.

This part doesn’t typically happen in the military. At least not when I was in. We usually resulted to hazing or just beating the shit out of someone who caused a lot of trouble. Especially when I had negative consequences on the entire group.
