Never thought of it that way, but you’re right. Let’s hope they put him on something useful like KP.

BLANKET PARTY

A blanket party is a means of hazing or punishment conducted by a peer group.
Blanket parties are most frequently conducted by groups within the military or police.

In a blanket party, the victim is restrained by having a blanket flung over him and
held down at the corners. Then the remaining members of the group strike him repeatedly
with batons, sticks, or improvised "flails" such as a sock or bath towel loaded with
something solid, like a bar of soap, a padlock, stones or rocks).
