Carabinieri shot them.” “Carabinieri,” said Passini and spat on the floor. “But those grenadiers; all over six feet. They wouldn’t attack.” “If everybody would not attack the war would be over,” Manera said. “It wasn’t that way with the granatieri. They were afraid. The officers all came from such good families.” “Some of the officers went alone.” “A sergeant shot two officers who would not get out.”

Every tenth man is allowed to go home early.

b)

Italian soldiers who refuse to fight are brutally punished.

c)

The Italian military takes great care of their soldiers.

d)

Every tenth man in Italy gets drafted to the war.

They were taking from the line every 10th soldier that refused to attack and shot them, punishing them by taking their lifes for not being part in the war, in the end if they do not attack the ones that are actually loosing their lives are their fellow italian soldiers that have to fight for them.
