@4:12 "In Russia, officer tells you what to do and you go figure out how to do it." Nyet. In the Russian army, the officers serve the purpose on NCOs in Western armies. They have to directly supervise troops doing anything, from filling sandbags to conducting an attack. When they have to go do "officer stuff" or become casualties, the troops just slack off. They have no supervision, because the next higher level is the US equivalent of the Specialist, just privates who have been around long enough to learn how the game is played.
