Morale has to play a huge part.
Plus it's just overall structure of the armed force when the bulk of your soldiers are conscripts who are only in for a year and get training on the job... only catch there is no real NCO pool.
I can't stress how fucked it is they are taking men off the streets my age (late 30s), giving them a days worth of training, a rifle, and sending them to the front.
You have to really detest your own people to do stuff like that.
