You're looking at this from the wrong way. The vet is a way to allow you to hold on to your unupgraded squads after you have upgraded squads on the field. If you vet the base squads, they are still a force to be feared on the battlefield, probably moreso than the upgraded vet0 squads. By having this veterency model, existing squads DON'T become useless after the upgrade is researched.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

 I would like to see Strelsky get grenades and sandbags :p
 Says they are equal to Grens ? Ack! No way :)
 They can't buy panzershreks and LMGs for starters ;)
 (Unupgraded ones)

 - Conscripts and Engineers get something in the field
 after the upgraded (olders ones do) Strelsky should get
 something nice, too (older ones).

 - Food for thought : I think it's really hard to get Command
 Squad to vet up :p Shouldn't it get vet from it's fellow
 countrymen's kills? It's gotten nerfed so hard that there's
 hardly a point to it anymore if you can't get it to vet up :p

 - Someone mentionned that the vet system doesn't
 make sense. They vet like americans, yet have officer
 vet like british, yet have base bought global upgrades
 like the Wehr ???!

 ... Wish you'd consider my heroes of the soviet union
 option ;) Would keep the throwaway mindset, but with
 vet on the go.
 (similar to making first unit of a type gaining vet become
 like a weak officer)(With a cap on such units). Limit of
 1 vet (+1 aura from hero) = 2. The Commander would
 work same, but with ability to get xp from neighbor
 friendly kills (like british officer) and his vet helps
 infantry and tanks alike.

  Making units who perform well in combat become
 hero on the go would be very easy to do , and novel,
 and in keeping with the soviet union ;)
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity
