    What a nightmare. It’s bad enough that the Russian army is treated like cannon-fodder by their own leadership. But institutionalized abuse and hard-core hazing? I’m actually kind of shocked. I guess this is about as strong an argument for the importance and efficacy of leadership modeling that you can find.

    And sometimes the military guys are waiting at the graduation event, to scoop you up before you can even leave the building.
