Maybe resolve is a better term than morale. Morale suffers when you take a hit, and there's a bunch of hits happening, along with the happenings hitting.
a) a sense of common purpose with respect to a group
b) moral or mental condition as regards courage, zeal, hope, confidence, and the like: used especially of a body of men engaged in a hazardous enterprise, as soldiers or sailors in time of war.
I said what I meant to say.
The "beatings" bring us together into a cohesive and purposeful group. That is by definition an improvement in the moral state (morale).
