Mass punishment mandatory in the Army? How would you seriously handle this situation?

I'm in the Army, obviously. My rank makes no difference. I consider myself a good soldier. What I don't get is the mass punishment ordeal. To me it would and is bringing down our morale here. I would get it.....if it was effective. But it is NOT. Its the same individuals that mess up. In a VERY short amount of time since we've had 3 DUI's, 2 or 3 inappropriate conduct between soldiers and other soldier spouses, 3 domestic violence/threats. Theres got to be a better solution. I say....give them 45 days of extra duty, and chapter these dirt bags out! Its hard to stay motivated when you got dirt bag soldiers acting up.....a good majority are the younger soldiers. There's got to be better solution then what my higher enlisted and XO are/is enforcing. If you have some realistic solutions....please let me know. I'm tired of this already. I like my MOS, my post, just not certain individuals.
Not to mention that certain soldiers that are causing trouble dont get punished the same way. To me it should be the same across the board. How hard is it to do "the right thing"? I dont know. I have only been here for 1 month and my units been here for about 3 months almost. And what makes it worse is that we are only at 45%....we still have more soldiers coming.
 
Wow, a lot of these WOULD have gotten art 15's and extra duty in my unit. I'm surprised they're doing nothing in yours. Or maybe they are, art 15's take a little while to finalize usually, then the punishment starts.
 
you gotta rally together and ut the fear of god into the jokers that keep jacking up.

or do your research into your brigade/battalion/units policy letters and see if there crossing the line with mass punishment.
