There was an episode of World Report recently on public TV about this
particular tactic in the Bosnian War you should probably see.
You could also argue that its a very effective and personal torture
technique for breaking someoen. Biologically in animals it can also be a
dominance tactic (Lawrence of Arabia comes to mind, as does some things
that have come to light in terms of such things between male wolves.)
HOWEVER I really have NO interest in providing an environment for my
players to descend to the level of base animals. I expect a bit more form
m,y players. Maybe that's just my prejudice but there you go.
