Rereading "Red Storm Rising" because I loved that book back in the day and because I picked up a hard bound copy for $1.50 @ Goodwill.<br /><br />In it an analyst points out that in Russian media they will criticize specific individuals and never generalize. In the examples it was military men not obeying orders. So that they would never talk about privates in the army not obeying their Sgts. as that could be construed as a criticism of Soviet society which is perfect of course. Rather they will name the 11 privates and criticize them for their specific "sin".<br /><br />I immediately saw a parallel to Fo1 and the government of Hentz. A very tightly controlled society where everyone must wear a uniform denoting their job and social position.<br /><br />It might be good to think of Fo1 and Hentz as the Soviet Union.
