Building up an accurate picture of Romania's military is difficult due to a lack of hard data. The Army is the country's most trusted institution, but over the past 30 years, instead of reforming and opening up, it has shut itself away behind official communication channels. On the other side of this wall of silence, something that's hard to ignore is happening. The number of resignations has trebled in just three years. The surge in departures comes despite announcements of massive investment in military hardware.
Systemic issues have prompted dozens in the Army to voice concerns even though military regulations forbid them to speak out. Over the past few months, Recorder has talked to some of those who are finding it impossible to remain silent. Some left the Army just recently, feeling disappointed and disillusioned. Others are still holding out in the hope that maybe things will change.
