Common sense would dictate you don't treat people like that, but one has to look no farther than the Risk Reduction forum to see people(probably a lot the same ages as some of these soldiers) doing similar things to pledges/brothers/sisters, etc.
in the end, the responsibilty lies with the officers. Regardless of the status of the soldiers, the officers either didn't do a good job instructing them of their mission or supervising it.
