It's not so much cult-talk as it is military-talk. That's one reason why the LC is more adaptable for the Chinese -- they have mandatory military service built into their culture, while the Americans do not.

Public shaming to subjugate the brothers was built into the program. Many have said that TC was Lee's best student. Interestingly, TC's father was a general in Chiang Kai-sheks’s Nationalist Army who fled the mainland during the Communist takeover.
