Sure they can. As a last resort, they could execute traitors from the last battle at the beginning of the next one.
Armies are scary.
So? Quirrell is talking about how to organize resistance to the next Dark Lord. Duh, obviously it should be organized as an army. Harry’s protests about fascists and such are stupid, instead he should be proposing smart things that modern Muggle armies do. And Quirrell even calls his teams “armies”! What?

This is both a significant cost to the general and a motivation for traitors to continue defecting and recruit further traitors. As a general I would allow for the loss of two soldiers to friendly fire (-2 points, 2 less combatants) for each traitor (that doesn’t submit willingly to execution). The victims do get to defend themselves. In addition the ‘execution’ civil-unrest at the start of the battle could constitute a non-trivial distraction in the battle.
It makes a difference that the soldiers have little to lose but pride but the generals quite a lot more.
