What is a blanket party?

A blanket party is a form of informal punishment or retribution used by a group of individuals, typically in a military setting. It involves a group of individuals holding a person down while others repeatedly strike or beat them with a blanket or similar soft object. This type of punishment is often used to enforce discipline, maintain order, or address grievances within a group.

Blanket parties are often seen as a form of hazing, bullying, or mob justice and can result in physical injury or psychological harm to the person being targeted. They are generally considered to be a form of abuse and are not condoned by most organizations or institutions.

It is important to note that participation in or organization of a blanket party is often grounds for disciplinary action, legal repercussions, or dismissal from a position. It is important to report any incidents of blanket parties or similar forms of abuse to appropriate authorities for investigation and resolution.
