Answer:
It was mainly the government and military that was embarrassed by the wall, because as President John F. Kennedy said, " Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect, but we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us. " It truly showed the flaws in the communist party in the USSR that had to do with the wall, but the soldiers were not as embarrassed as the high commanders of the USSR that had to do with the wall in the first place. Although those who took pride in serving for their country in the USSR most likely did take embarrassment.
