chanized soldier last 14 days,
which is the length of some-
thing that resembles a scout
camp, where one may achieve
the competence of a pathfin-
der, sentry, scout and drill
master, with the caveat that
scouts do not have artillery
and artillery does not shoot
at them. If we want to con-
sider at least basic milita-
ry training of future reserve
personnel, we must approach
the matter seriously, based on
proven models, not on "any-
thing to put something in the
table," because the consequ-
ence of "sloppy work" will be
an increased number of body
bags to be filled in the event
of armed conflict.
In any case — the situation
is bad, and if we do nothing
it will get worse and lead to
a total collapse of the per
-
sonnel replacement system for
military units. For now it is
still on life support and has
some chance of recovery — do-
ing nothing will be equiva-
lent to pulling the plug, and
everyone can imagine what wo-
uld follow.
