Russian Job Security

Putin has gone through a lot of generals. One way of terminating their command is ordering them to physically lead combat operations, a virtual guarantee of a rapid demise during the Russian aggression against Ukraine. Another method to rid oneself of nonperforming generals for Putin might be to stage a phony coup to reveal who is loyal and who is less so, and then the leaders Putin finds less faithful may never be heard from again. One fact is glaring- you will never hear a Putin general ask about his pension because they do not live long enough during the Ukraine war to ever collect it- unless I suppose they defect to the Ukraine and the West.
