  1. Roman, If you're kicking a trouble-maker out of your unit by sending him to a penal battalion, naturally you'll tell him he's being rewarded fo his energy and initiative by being sent to join the elite. It's entirely possible that this unit -- and perhaps the entire ex-Soviet military -- is a machine designed to soak up the incompetents, the goof-offs, and the teen-age daytime drinkers from the gutters of an alraedy wounded social order.
