Legionary Discipline
Much like awards or commendations every army also has had similar problems with things like insubordination, desertion and even mutiny. During the Republican era, the discipline of the Legions was more strict and harsh than in the Imperial era.
This may be the result of several factors, including the volunteer nature of the Imperial Legion. More likely to be of influence was the Emperor's need to keep the army loyal and happy to preserve his position, or just the simple fact that as generations passed people were more lenient than they were in earlier eras.

As Thay is much like a Byzantine state where power is dispersed among powerful individuals and factions that strive against one another and the army or legion is beholden to the power of their Tharchion and the Red Wizards that would mean that the army would not hold much political power and probably have harsher measures of discipline as referenced here.
Legionary Disciplines
Evidence that leniency was practiced depending on the officers and aspect of the army
I think that insubordination and a general lack of discipline would be severely punished in an army that lacked discipline. Quite frankly, many Legionnaires do not understand how to be quiet and listen to orders properly. They speak out of turn while being punished and offer their opinions when silence and obedience would be required.
The punishment for say, Aerin going lenient for their ignorance, would be fine and fit with his character. I would disagree that the punishment for complaining and showing outrage was handled properly as insubordination should be squelched harshly.
