Citation de Sadisme
"The majority of the Syrian military are Sunni, but most of the military leadership are Alawites. Alawites make up 12% of the Syrian population but are estimated to make up 70% of the career soldiers in the Syrian Army.[13][45] A similar imbalance is seen in the officer corps, where some 80% of the officers are Alawites. The military’s most elite divisions, the Republican Guard and the 4th Armored Division, which are commanded by Bashar al-Assad's brother Maher, are exclusively Alawite. Most of Syria’s 300,000 conscripts were, however, Sunni, but that number is speculated to be changing now."
