Concentrate on training and developing a professional officers
corps. No matter the technology if your soldiers are uneducated
draftees who don't want ot be there, and your officers were chosen
for: "Who paid the highest bribe" or "who is least likely to be able
to carry off a coup", you'll get your butt kicked.


This is very sensible advice.
