Abstract
The decreasing share of defence in total government expenditures reflects the fundamental choices about state functions. The main hypothesis of the research is: decreasing priority of military spending could cause lower quality of defence. The case study shows, how "punishment for military success" strategy undermines incentives for army officers. Historical data (military spending and rise of new military justice) support the main hypothesis.
