It sucks. But it’s by design. Death from within. It’s the communist way. The 1963 communist goals were put into play against the military as well as the civ population.
They seem to be working.
(But it does bring up a Paradox though with the Soviets having a far larger military than us and yet had to pay for social standards too, which were very low......does communism not make sense to anyone else or is it just me?)
