"sternly punish" So any ideas on how long they'll have to stand holding their rifles over their heads?

Sadly for Korean citizens, there's no "stern punishment" for general officers.

Just a little slap on the wrist and relief of command. They'll be reassigned to more cushy defense department staff positions.

No slap on the wrist this time. They'll get written warnings. Poor ordinary rank and file will have to go back to looking 'tough'. If they don't, they'll get written warnings.
