the institution, which in itself reduces the effectiveness. In addition, the general level of the army and army officers was not the general. It was about time degenerate system full of red tape, where there was a lack of capable people is solved by cutting entitlements. In this system fell BH/directorate of the general staff, and from it you choose your members.
