As a matter of fact, the military in almost all countries, especially those in Special Operations are treated worse than that.
I remember in the early 1980s, Canadian military was busted about how they treated their SOPs. They were chained and tied for three days without food and when thirsty made to drink their Pee. An enquiry was made into it but I do not know what came out of it. Ask the US navy seal and the MOSSAD on the kind of training given to them. It is terrible. The purpose is to train them and make sure they can endure any pain when captured in an operation.
Hahahahahaha. When their parents were making connection for them to get into the military, they thought it was a Tea Party. Military training is different from Police training. They were only taking the civilian out from them.

In this day and age, recruits are treated like convicts. Even criminals have the right not be dehumanised. This is abuse of position and the Ghanaian military mentality of "I will show you where power lies". The recruits could be toughened through rigorous activities and not through hitting their shaved heads with a rod.
I hope when the military and political authorities in Ghana see this clip, they will be shamed into taking appropriate steps to put immediate stop to this abuse.

This brutish Naval Trainers must be stopped from damaging the brains of their trainees by continuously hitting the trainees on their heads. Naval discipline should be positive and not negative. Offenders can be made to do more push-ups, or run more miles. That would only make them better men. Smacking them on their heads is criminal because it would eventually damage their brains and male them into mushrooms instead of soldiers. These trainers must be removed from their posts!

I TAKE VERY SERIOUS EXCEPTIONS IN THE MANNER THE PRESS ARE VOLUPTUOUSLY PREYING ON ALL NEWS CARCASS AS THOUGH THE PRESS FREEDOM MEANS LAWLESSNESS.A TAPPING ON THEIR HEADS THIS WAY IS TO ALLOW THEM SURRENDER THEIR OWN RIGHTS FOR THE GREATER RIGHTS OF LESSER ONES LIKE THE MEDIA. THE DANGER OF WRITING AND PUBLISHING ARTICLES ON MILITARY ACTIVITIES WITHOUT ANY DUE DILIGENCE OR CROSSCHECKING OR SEEKING APPROVAL IS AS DANGEROUS AS ANY YOUNG SOLDIER WHO PICKS UP HIS WEAPON GOES TRIGGER HAPPY AND BEGIN TO FIRE INDISCRIMINATELY. IT IS NOT WRONG DOCUMENTING IT BUT WRONG PUBLISHING MILITARY ACTIVITIES AS A WAY OF UNDOING THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES.. IT SOUNDS UNACCEPTABLE UNCIVILIZED AND BAD TO TREAT HUMAN THE WAY THESE CLIPS DEPICT....WHAT OF ORDERING THEM TO MOVE IN THE FACE OF DEATH SCARING AT THEM?? GOING OUT INTO THE COLD TO CONFRONT ARMED ROBBERS WHO ARE WELL ARMED. WILL JOY FM OR GHANA SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM COME TO COMMAND THE MEN IN CRISES,ORDER THEM TO DEFEND THE DEFENSELESS IN THE FACE OF DANGER??? WHEN THEY ARE NOT HARDENED??? SEE YOU GUYS MUST LEARN TO SEPARATE NEWS FROM INFORMATION,TRAINING PRACTICES FROM TORTURE. SOLDIERS MUST BE TRAINED AND TRAINED HARD WITHSTAND TORTURE,PAIN AND MINOR ABUSES.THESE MAKES THEM TO BE TOLERANT AND TO MAINTAIN STATE OR MILITARY SECRETS WHEN CAPTURED AS PRISONERS OF WAR. I OVERHEARD A DOCTOR SAYING THESE KINDS OF EXCESSES LEAD TO MADNESS. HOW MANY MAD SOLDIERS HAS HE ENCOUNTERED???I HEAR THE MEDIA PARADING ITSELF AS THE 4TH REALM OF THE STATE...WHEN THEY KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT PROTECTING STATE INSTITUTIONS OR PROPERTY, OF ENSURING OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AND OF GUARANTEEING NATIONAL COHESION. THE STATES OF RWANDA, LIBERIA AND MANY OF COUNTRIES THAT ENCOURAGED IRRESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM AT THE BEGINNING OF THEIR CRISES RIPPED THE PAINFUL BENEFITS OF POOR JOURNALISM.

The Military is not a civilian institution where things are done in the comfort of your desk. Training means transformation, changing from a civilian to a combat ready soldier. Being a soldier/rating or airman goes beyond wearing the uniform. I don't see why somebody should interfere with military training because the recruits are being transformed.

THIS MUST NEVER BE TOLERATED,NEVER.
SUCH MALTREATMENT IS NEVER PART OF ANY MILITARY TRAINING!
THIS IS HOW THE EWES TREAT THE OTHER TRIBES,THEY ONLY WANT THEIR STUPID TRIBEMEN.MARK IT ON THE WALL THE OFFICER DOING THAT STUPID THING IS SURELY AN EWE MEN,WICKED IN EVERY FIELD.
The officer must be an Ewe and the subject an Akan. This is why the military and police have a few Akans.
Instead of exposing the recruits to state-of-the-art technology in the delivery of their roles, we're hitting their skulls with heavy sticks. Why are we backward like this?
infact! you can't do this in Germany neither can you do this anywhere in the world, this is pure mental slavery and gross human rights abuse. Nonsense pito pot.
I will bet my money on the one who took the knockings with attention position is more respected and feared by the Officers among his collogues
The wicked officer will also be an Ewe and the recruit will be an Akan.

the officers in the video must be brought to face justice against human rights abuse
is this abuse? Oh Ghanaians, we always have something to say about what people do. Be aware that once you sign up to be in the forces, things like this don't matter even death.

Are there any advocates for human rights in Ghana! Is this beast still at post! Are there any laws in our beloved Country at all. God have mercy.
What fire GENK? You mean a tribal war? I am defending civil rights and you are advocating violence. How can you not be against such abuse? No human being, Akan or Ewe, should undergo such abuse.

The Armed Forces training is not boys scouting. You are transformed from a civilian into a tough and enduring serviceman. I reckon that perhaps we will soon see soldiers drooping from an aircraft and we will be debating that ...
