them, from the president down to the smallest villager. >> general hertling, how much of a learning enemy are russian forces? i mean, how much are they able to see what's going wrong and pivot? >> you can't learn in the position they're in right now, anderson. this is a lack of training, a lack of preparation and exercises, a lack of discipline in the army. remember, the majority of russian soldiers are conscripts. they're in for less than two years, in some cases a year. some of those vehicles we've seen on the road, indicators are they have extremely poor maintenance. they've been sitting for a very long time. that's what a train soldier ensures doesn't happen, that their vehicles work when they need them to. so, a combination of a lack of preparation doesn't contribute well to adapting on the battlefield. and the army that adapts fastest and first usually wins the fight.
