This is one of the big problems with communist countries historically. They're always so fearful of the military overthrowing them, that they neuter the military and especially the higher ups. Which is fine and all....until you actually need to use that military. In Russian culture its not like America...being in the army is looked down on as a poor mans job, and people make fun of people in the army. Even the famed VDV isn't really totally appreciated or accepted. In the US the service is a respected thing and earns you pride. It is just not like that in Russia and they're paying for it now. Im curious if China would have the same issues if they ever are in a major conflict again. Corruption might be more of their downfall though.
