Not for sympathy.

We have arrived at the either WW1 point where soldiers started killing officers, or Vietnam, same story. It is a significant point, because it will make the Russian Armed Forces even less effective.

Now you understand? Most people focused on another post. But from military good order and discipline, it’s great news that the Russian army is at the point they will be even harder to lead. Many of these people are also breaking contract, and replacing them is, thankfully, next to impossible.
