There is a basic dysfunction in "Honor Shame Cultures" when they try to wage modern "technical" war. No one wants to admit mistakes and higher ranks don't want to better train their subordinate because of job security. Tends to kill initiative at the root level.

The Syrian tanks were commanded by men picked for political reliability.
