    As someone who knows nothing about Eastern Bloc history, what was wrong with the Romanian military in the 1960s?

      Better to read about Causescu than the military itself. He was a monster. After he was finally deposed, he was convicted of genocide against his own people in a Romanian court because he was responsible for over 60,000 deaths.

      The military was one the many tools in his arsenal.

        Holy fuck. Props to your best friend’s dad; not enough people have the principles to follow through on something like that.
