A stark criticism has emerged regarding the distribution of high military awards and promotions within the armed forces. The critique centers on the perceived disconnect between these honors and the nation’s recent military setbacks, which include the loss of significant territories and a high number of casualties.
The central question posed is: for what specific achievements are these ranks and medals being awarded? The commentary suggests that in the wake of defeat and the cession of homeland areas, such ceremonies appear incongruous. It is argued that these actions contribute to a sense of humiliation and disrespect, particularly towards those who lost their lives in the conflicts.
The author expresses deep regret at having to address the issue, noting a profound respect for the institution of the army. The concern is that the current practice risks tarnishing the dignity traditionally associated with military service, replacing it with a sentiment of shame. The criticism is framed not as an isolated incident but as indicative of a broader, systemic pattern within the military command structure.
