I read somewhere that there is a shortage of officers in the Russian Navy. Why might that be?
Well, this actual photo from a recent military school graduation in Vladivostok might help explain the problem. These guys are celebrating by drinking champagne from a bowl festooned with daggers.
This raises the question of who didn’t graduate, if these dudes are the cream of the crop? It also makes the question of whether you want your drink shaken or stirred seem kind of trivial, by comparison.
