The punishment persists as the non-commissioned officer wields a leather belt with intense satisfaction upon the soldier's already tested buttocks. This is followed, of course, by excruciating and relentless hand spankings upon both his buttocks and his anus. Subsequently, due to an unlucky draw of a card, the soldier endures a further flogging of over a hundred strokes with the belt. Despite his utmost effort to maintain his dignity as a resilient man until the bitter end, the soldier succumbs to exhaustion, yet holds onto a sense of pride for enduring today's arduous and lengthy punishment. The Marshal departs happy with his work, leaving the soldier naked and at attention, his crimson and sore posterior serving as a testament to the good punishment received. For other non-commissioned officers who may enter the club, the soldier remains as a trophy, an emblem of discipline and endurance.
