Army service ... What is it - a tribute to tradition? Archaism? Or just the habit of the state?Army service ... What is it - a tribute to tradition? Archaism? Or just the habit of the state?

At a time when specialists are valued, when everything is decided solely by professionals in their field, and equipped with the latest technical developments - who, for what purpose, may need a giant ORDA, I’m not afraid of this word, young, guys who can do nothing? Without experience, without any significant professional skills, with completely suppressed imagination and initiative - in the army they do not argue there, they only execute orders.

Two hundred, three hundred years ago, the hopelessness of creating an army of non-professional warriors was clearly understood - that’s why people served all their lives, perfecting themselves in the craft of a soldier. Later, after serfdom, allowing impunity to dispose of human destinies, was abolished, the army began to rebuild on a personnel basis .... But then the world warriors burst out. Gunshot weapon proved its effectiveness. Armed them with an ordinary peasant, teach them the basics of shooting - and if at least one of the ways given to him finds a goal, he will already justify the expenses of the state. And even then, it’s ridiculous to say what expenses there were - they didn’t grow, they didn’t feed, they just gave me a weapon - it didn’t go anywhere, it would die - you can give it to the next meat

Having laid new soldiers on the civilian part of the country, the states are parasitizing, taking young, strong guys and returning cripples ... or zinc coffins. This measure, still somehow justified in the period of conducting the world warrior, when everything decided the number of firing machine guns, became completely unnecessary with the appearance on the front of more and more complex and important equipment, requiring not the quantity but the QUALITY of military personnel. Why do we have everything the same way as at the beginning of the 20 century?

As always, everything depends on the main whales of all global problems: politics, economics and the psychology of those in power. All this is closely interrelated, but we will try to figure it out separately:

Politics is, first of all, the possibility of moral blackmail of the leadership of other countries. And what is more weighty for such blackmail: millions of armies beautifully marching soldiers on the parade grounds or several pro regiments, even if the latter are much more effective? Of course, the first. Politics is important aplomb, brilliance, visibility. When spies of neighboring states report that in Russia there are a lot of parts around each city, it will never occur to anyone to doubt the strength of such formations ... They themselves are not there, but sometimes they see only the show so beloved by the parade generals.

Economy. Let's say honestly - young, strong, healthy guys, a year working for clothes and grub - a tasty morsel for any economist. It can be said without exaggeration that modern soldiers are SLAVES, submissive and silent, fulfilling the will of those who order them. It is not for nothing that once again politicians, economists, anyone - but not military personnel - become the minister of defense.

Psychology. She is as clear and simple as she is outrageous. Have you ever played toy soldiers? And with the living soldiers? Favorite fun of the kings of past centuries does not cease to touch and the current politicians. For the sake of such a fascinating hobby, it is not a sin and a small war to compose - well, that would be small, local ... Like children in a nursery, provided that the apartment is a country under the control of politics. And such warriors can last for decades, delighting politicians with their sharpness ... Is it possible to change anything? Not only possible, but must. Even if we leave aside the moral and ethical standards, such games very strongly affect the country's defense, causing us to fear more practical neighbors.

And there is a solution! Pretty simple and lying on the surface - it is useless to shout and moan about honor and justice, you will not be heard. It is only economically necessary to influence a modern, mercantile, rotten society through! Need to serve? Good. No questions. But provide proper conditions and PAY for the military work of draftees. Nowhere, in any constitution is not written down, that would be required to serve FREE !!!!! Got injured disability? Demand decent compensation, do not be content with crumbs, go to the courts !!!! Mothers who have lost their sons! I know you often have the very idea of ​​money in the blood, but - sue, demand the largest possible amount! Remember - every court won is a step towards a professional contract army, an army that not only can protect you with dignity, but also gives other teenagers the right to CHOOSE without crippling their souls ...
