... and that does what, exactly?
It's similar to letting someone do something stupid cause your tired of trying to help them. Let them make stupid choices, when they realize that have made a stupid mistake. That leaves them with only themselves to blame, and gives you power of the "I told you it was stupid to do that, now what have we learned?" Or a better example, for those of who remember "Hey Arnold" the episode that Arnold let everyone else do stupid things because he was always trying to help others. They messed things up so bad that a lot of them ran back to him for help and he would not lend a hand to help. That's the point I'm trying to make, I want that leverage to be able to hold over others. That way they will learn not to do as many stupid things as they were doing.

Private Pyle has dishonored himself and
dishonored the platoon! I
have tried to help
him, but I have failed! I have failed because
you have not helped me! You people have not
given Private Pyle the
proper motivation!
So, from now on, whenever Private Pyle
fucks
up, I will not punish him, I will punish
all of you! And the way I
see it, ladies, you
owe me for one jelly doughnut! Now, get on
your faces!

Open your
mouth!
He shoves the jelly doughnut into PYLE's mouth.

They're paying for it, you eat it!

Ready . . . exercise!
I fully support group blaming, the group that has to pay for someone's decision or actions, Has every right to be pissed off and voice there opinions on what should of been done.
