For Every Action, There is an Equal and Opposite Bureaucratic Objection

Following up yesterday's post about Russian military reforms, we've got news today that - surprise, surprise - the idea of putting hundreds of generals out of work isn't sitting well with the Russian brass:

Russia is launching its most radical army reform in decades after its brief war in Georgia underlined the need for a more agile military than the one designed to fight the Cold War.
Analysts say the plan will face resistance from generals who stand to lose their jobs and their influence in the reshuffle, pitting the Kremlin against a powerful interest group that has blocked previous attempts at wholesale reform.
