Reserve Officer: Strong And Smart Men Used To Serve In Military In Past, Now They Leave Country

Staff roots of hazing in the armed forces of Belarus.

Belarusian mothers demand that their sons be returned to them. And they ask why in peacetime, when there is no war, the young guys do not return from the army safe and sound. The death of Pinsk resident Aliaksandr Korzhych in Pechy raised a wave all over the country. Yesterday it turned out that another tragedy had also happened to a soldier in Biaroza. And more and more details about the horrors of military service in Belarus appear in the media. This is hazing, bullying, and threats. The details are shocking.

Journalist, reserve officer Aliaksandr Acharotny spoke about that in the Hot Commenter program on the Belsat channel.

"It is rooting, of course, in the personnel, everything depends on them. In Soviet times, to become an officer, it was necessary to undergo a severe selection, it was necessary to pass most difficult examinations. Now you can see on the website of our Ministry of Defense, who is taken to the academy and with what points. When I saw it, I could not believe, I thought it was a joke. Look, who’s going to become an officer! I do not know how to name these guys. If in our time strong and smart boys used to go to the army, now strong and smart boys prefer to go to study in other countries, where it is more prestigious," – Aliaksandr Acharotny said.
