@nunyabidness3075 Most nations. Being an officer means you came from a certain family with connections and privilege, but not good enough to be higher up in government. As such, officers distance themselves from conscripts and only associate with each other, using their power to enrich themselves and pretend to be part of the class structure they're not. They don't like anything resembling discomfort, uncleanliness, hardship, or inconvenience. The US, Canada, UK, Danes, Norwegians, Germans, legacy NATO nations, and Australians are the exceptions to this where a meritorious framework is more in-place. Combat arms officers pride themselves on embracing and enforcing hardship, or at least the impression of it for the garritroopers.

@nunyabidness3075 One thing you see common to most nations is that they are utterly inept when it comes to maintenance, training, logistics, basic soldiering skills, and having any junior leadership. The US-aligned NATO and Australian forces are again exceptions, where we place a ton of emphasis on mx, logistics, junior NCO leaders who know their jobs, regular battle-focused training, and basic soldiering skills.
