Are you sure it wasn't puerile, kindisch or kinderagtige?
At least my post commented somewhat humorously on the quality of the fact checking done by some of the sources cited here.
BTW, here's a link for you:The Hunting of the Snark (he said with tongue firmly in cheek).

The greatest educational dogma is also its greatest fallacy: the belief that what must be learned can necessarily be taught. — Sydney J. Harris
Well OK then... a puerile sense of humour. Some people never grow up.
Instructors at any Officer School would typically observe for those who have that character flaw of laughing at expense of people rather than with them. Some fatally flawed individuals do however manage to sneak through though. This is a pity.
AdamG posted in part:I read somewhere only four were in flying / operational condition.The 204th Tactical Aviation Brigade, based at the Balbek airbase, had 39 Mig-28 fighters, which were seized by Russia in the early days of their invasion. Three hundred surface-to-air missiles were seized at the Fiolent airbase, as well.

I thought I'd posted these two news items from hitherto unknown news resource.
Link:http://barentsobserver.com/en/securi...-we-come-17-03The paratroopers from the 98th Paratroopers Division in Ivanovo were dropped over the island of Kotelny on Friday in a show of strength in Arctic conditions.....As previously reported, the Russian Northern Fleet late 2013 took major efforts in the reopening of the Temp airfield at Kotelny....The Island of Kotelny in the period 1933-1993 housed a research station and military base.
I am sure this is the island AdamG posted on three days ago.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/27/world/...lphins-defect/(CNN) -- Just when you thought this divorce couldn't get any messier.
Weeks after Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea region, it plans to take custody of dolphins in the nation as well.
Not just any dolphins. These highly trained military mammals detect risks such as sea mines or enemy scuba divers trying to slip through. Sea mines are sophisticated weapons that can sink ships and other watercraft.
"The combat dolphin program in the Crimean city of Sevastopol will be preserved and redirected toward the interests of the Russian navy," state-run Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported Thursday.
