Casey (as well as others) feel that they can take the punishment and it won't break them spiritually. The physical beating is horrible, but skin can heal and broken bones can mend, but one's will to live and inner soul can be irrevocably broken. Casey has lived through this before and knows he can do it again, he didn't believe that Shane would be so strong. To manage this, Casey had to call upon inner reserves, but ones he knew he had. Shane will hopefully learn from this experience and recognize that he is not alone, but part of a community while on the ship and his actions affect not one, but the whole. -- Cindy's Cottage

I felt the same way Denise. Casey has experienced this before and survived. True that he was probably about the same age as Shane when it happened to him, but he's not the type of person to assume 'well I survived, this lad will too'. Casey saw the way the Sergeant was looking at the boy, I don't think his conscience would let him take the chance that Shane might not survive with his soul/spirit intact, if there was anyting he could do about it and didn't.
