The Chinese Navy is much the same. In September of 1980, Antrim visited Shanghi, China for 5 days. On one of our days the North China Sea Fleet hosted about 125 sailors and officers to a 7 course meal at their Naval Station on the Yangzi River where besides the food they served a particular wine or what they called wine, but what was really pure moonshine alcohol right out of of a southern still which had a very high alcohol rating. The officers were forewarned as were the enlisted, but after we left the majority of sailors were in a very sorry state, stumbling drunk to say the least and basically incapitated…..it was pretty vile stuff…..mgb

Drinking too much at an official event in Ukraine. That’s normal. Been there done that 🙌. As US Advisor to UA Navy in Sevastopol 2005-8.
Leaving secret documents on a train. That’s bullshit😡
A 2-star commanding 300 people. That’s BS too!
Just my 2-cents
