The Imperial Guard is not a real life military, and nothing the Imperial Guard ever does is comparable to the acts of real life militaries. Besides, there is no mutiny occurring here. If there were, they would be in open revolt against the Imperium, and the forces in orbit would consequently be fully authorised to go in and exterminate the planetary forces.

This is also fully disregarding the fearsome, awe-inspiring reputation Commissars have among the population of the Imperium. Even the highest ranking officers of Guard Regiments fear the gaze of a Commissar, let alone the grunts. Commissars are known to inspire Guardsmen enough to fight against even the most impossibly overwhelming odds. Guardsmen don't even dare retreat in the vicinity of a Commissar. Siros ought to be trembling in his boots, along with all the partisans.
