		<description><![CDATA[While we were recently discussing flawed incentive systems, David Foster brought up some Communist examples: There’s an old story about a Soviet-era factory that made bathtubs. Plant management was measured on the total tonnage of output produced–and valves &#38; faucets don’t add much to the weight, certainly not compared with the difficulty of manufacturing them.

		<description><![CDATA[Alexander Boot recently described D-Day as splendid, glorious, heroic, sacrificial — and terribly wrong, based in part on Viktor Suvorov&#8216;s contention that the Soviet Union was planning a massive invasion of Europe. Of course, building up an army to invade German-occupied Europe looks an awful lot like building up an army to defend against a [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No soldier should be afraid of blood — especially not a spetsnaz commando: It used to be thought that a soldier could be accustomed to the sight of blood gradually — first a little blood and then more day by day. But experts have thrown out this view. The spetsnaz soldier&#8217;s first encounter with blood [&#8230;]]]></description>

A soldier was first taught to jump from a low level, to pack his parachute, to land properly, and so [&#8230;]]]></description>

They are destroying Western civilisation: they know how to do it, the argument goes, so let them get on with it unfettered by petty supervision. Among them there [&#8230;]]]></description>

It is more difficult and more expensive to make a cartridge than to make a fountain pen. And another reason for being careful with ammunition is so that you are never [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Soviet conscripts served for two years — not long by American professional-soldier standards: I often hear it said that the Soviet soldier is a very bad soldier because he serves for only two years in the army. Some Western experts consider it impossible to produce a good soldier in such a short time. It is [&#8230;]]]></description>
