“As this tragedy unfolds, I remember the quote that, “Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf”.
The problem is that the Regime has no interest in allowing people to sleep peacefully.
There is much more power in having a frightened population afraid to go to sleep every night.
The Regime is more interested in military loyalty than military competence. Imposing this absurd crap is a loyalty test. Only Regime loyalists will go along with it. All the normal people will leave the military.
Yes, as we have seen with the upper ranks in the military where loyalty to the liberal ideology is more important than competence and patriotism.
