You assume correctly. In my country major is considered a… no idea how it is called in English. We called it “higher rank officers”. And yes, I worked to some extent with these people during the actual war when they had to do more than just breathe and wear a hat.
And Finland really needs an army, not a kindergarten of old farts. You can look at the map to see why.
I’m still not quite understanding what their age has to do with whatever the problem is. The routine makes them fat and lazy after enough years of their job being to “breathe and wear a hat”? Maybe that wouldn’t apply to reservists? Or maybe they don’t run things that way in Finland?
In my experience, if you can’t explain a thing, it’s usually because you don’t understand it; that ability to explain is practically what it is to understand a thing (with notable exceptions for eg. language difficulties, or for simple hand-eye tasks, which this shrugging abdication(abnegation?) of explanation does not even pretend to try to meet).

(shrug) Sorry, I can’t explain this. Some things are so obvious that they are very hard to formally explain.
