Today I would like to talk about what it means to serve a man. To my husband.
There is a lot of talk about this, and I will also add my thoughts to this chorus, and I will be very glad to hear yours. They are priceless to me.

My father was a military man. My uncle is a military man. My sister is married to a military man.
They, like no one else, know the meaning of the word serve.
They serve the Motherland.
What are they actually doing? They PROTECT her. They PROTECT her. They KEEP her boundaries and her mentality. They HELP the Motherland develop the way it can/wants/should without the interference of other countries.

In my opinion, a woman does the same thing in relation to a man.
A woman is a keeper. Will anyone argue with me?)))))
She keeps the man. At all levels of life. (I already mentioned this somewhere).

A woman protects the physical body and physical space of a man. Cleaning, cooking, washing - all just for the sake of it.
A woman protects a man’s health - bring medicine, kefir for the night, persuade him to see a doctor.
A woman protects a man's ideas. As soon as he has lost faith in himself, or circumstances try to break him, the woman simply continues to believe in his idea. He just keeps believing.
A woman protects a man’s honor and his opinion of himself. If anyone, somewhere, ever tells me something bad about my man, I will stand up for him. I will refuse to believe in all this, and will say proudly “my man is not capable of this.” Even if he did this, I will only see the good in him and will never join the camp of those who try to make him bad.
A woman protects a man. From fatigue, from pain, from emotional overload.
She protects his home, his family. Who will remind her husband about relatives’ birthdays if he forgot? Who will go to his mother to tell him how he is doing? =)))))

A woman helps a man develop in the path he should follow. And this greatly develops the woman herself. For example, if a man decides to go into business in order to be on the same page with him, a woman can calmly start studying economics and management. More interesting together!
With her faith, her “I am near”, she breathes into him her strength, her energy... She inspires him...

And the most important thing.
A woman takes care of a man on this Earth, giving birth to a child in the image and likeness of this man.
Just think about it.... A son in the image and likeness of your husband.....(by the way, you must agree that only the Goddess is capable of this... The Goddess is each of us. Each of us. Each. And you too. You are the Goddess. Straighten your back and feel your strength.)

I realized that I loved my man at the moment when I told him, “I want to give birth to a son like you, I want to raise him by your example. Men like you should always be here.”It was spontaneous, we were hugging, and I suddenly whispered these words because I felt it....

This is what it means to me to serve.
Cooking, washing, obedience, humility and other things that frighten us, free people, so much - it all follows from here.

A digression about the origins of such reasoning.
A banal statement by a young man that he needs women in his life to satisfy his needs. She is not capable of more. Ahahahahaha)))

And then I thought, but really...Why does the strong young man Woman?
Can't he buy himself a cookbook and cook for himself? Maybe.
Or learn how to use a vacuum cleaner? Maybe.
There is a lot of sex and available....
Why does he need a humble Wife who will be nearby? Not only does he have to work and spend money on her, but on top of everything else he has to bear the responsibility of making her happy... A bunch of responsibilities... Why does he need her?

And then, when such a Woman is nearby, he, a Man, will not be able to lose a single value in his life. If a man takes the risk of trusting her like that, she will save everything. Starting, I repeat, from his body, ending, I repeat, with his birth.
He will be able to take risks, achieve his goals, save the world, knowing that everything dear to him is under reliable guard and protection...

To be a worthy military man is very honorable. It's just an honor. It’s hard not to respect the military if you think about how much they give to serve their Motherland. And this Motherland can then change the world.
Being a worthy wife is a very honorable thing. It's just an honor. It’s hard not to respect worthy, faithful wives if you think about how much they give to serve the man they love. And this man can then change the world.

Take care of yourself.
Your Men need you.
To those who already exist, or to those who will soon come into your life.
You, Women, are priceless, dear and beautiful.
Take care of yourself and your families.

Daughters are also wonderful)) But in this case, logically, you give birth to a new Goddess, capable of loving the same way you love your husband...

It was once believed that a real man should serve. Now the position is completely different: only those who are unlucky serve. Which of these statements is true?

Tamara Bogarytova

pensioner

Yes, all men must serve. It was more difficult before: there were no mobile phones, hazing reigned, but now boys only serve for a year, and the military forces are better funded.

Alexander Gerasimov

fourth year student at the Institute of Natural Sciences of NEFU

Of course, the young man is obliged to serve. This is the sacred duty of every citizen of Russia; it is prescribed, if I am not mistaken, by law. All healthy people should join the army, regardless of social status. For some, this could be the start of a professional career.

Fedot Gogolev

third year student at the Institute of Foreign Philology and Regional Studies of NEFU

In our troubled times, military service is an obligatory duty of every citizen, because the fate of the country and the republic depends on it. Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers brought us victory in the Great Patriotic War, we must appreciate this and love our country.

Diana Pavlova

civil servant

I think it doesn't really matter whether you served or not. Why waste a year of your life? During this time, you can achieve a lot, help your family, and not lie in the barracks all day.

Dyulustaan ​​Osipov

fourth year student of the NEFU Physico-Technical Institute

My opinion is this: the guy should do military service. But there are cases when a young man does not serve due to physical or mental health reasons, or less often due to family circumstances. All this is carefully spelled out in the current legislation. Evasion from military service leads to criminal liability. This is the reality of our time.
The state must ensure worthy performance of military service, minimize the psychological stress and discomfort of the soldier.

Sakhaaya Koryakina

young specialist

It seems to me that any normal guy, man should serve in the army. If there are people who themselves strive to get there, then that’s wonderful. It doesn't matter that they "waste" one year, but I think that in the army people are taught to be disciplined, responsible and strong in spirit. My young man returned from the army changed in better side. He became neat, obligatory, courageous.

Sardaana Krylatova

fourth-year student of the NEFU Physico-Technical Institute

Yes, but those who want to join the army should be sent, since they don’t teach anything there anyway, and there is no need for young people to waste their time. Many of my friends served in the army, but this did not help them find a job or enter a university.

Larisa Romanova

pensioner

A real man should not be afraid of difficulties. The army is necessary because we are always on the brink of war, and we must always be prepared for this. The army, of course, has its disadvantages, and the government must eliminate them.

Susanna Protopopova

civil servant

Yes, young people should serve in the army. They return from there matured, matured, and it is easier for them to find work. Now the service has been made much easier; in many military units it is allowed to use mobile phones, “hazing” has been eradicated.

Anastasia Syrovatskaya

young specialist

I think that every young man should serve, experience “military readiness” for himself, and not just have an idea about it. The situation in the country is changing, and if something happens, we must have defenders. After all, our grandfathers, fathers, brothers all served. Thanks to them we live and will live in peace.

Is it true that all the men who “didn’t trample their boots” are not men at all? They say that the army turns a young man into a real representative of the strong half of humanity.

That woman who never gave birth,
He's not a man who didn't serve!

Many times I was convinced that a real man This is the one who normally assesses an adequate situation and reacts to it objectively. Difficult? That's right, that's how it should be. But in general, a man should be a little more handsome and smarter than a monkey.

Is it true that all the men who “didn’t trample their boots” are not men at all? They say that the army turns a young man into a real representative of the strong half of humanity. Is it true?

Let's try to differentiate and analyze some types of male character among those who “saluted the Motherland” and among those who, for various reasons, did not succeed in this event. We will conditionally divide it according to four criteria:

- those who served and are strong in spirit;
- those who served, and Not strong in spirit;
- those who Not served, and is strong in spirit;
- and, finally, those who did not serve, and they have problems with fortitude.

In understanding fortitude, I include such human parameters as: the ability to “drive a nail into the wall”, the ability to stand up for yourself and your loved ones, the ability to defend your point of view, common sense and a clear life position in the form of determination (for many women this is important sign natural selection).

So, let's go...

1. Served, experienced all the hardships and difficulties of army life, is strong morally and physically. Men of this type I personally know enough to make an objective assessment. I will say one thing, one of these people is my father, and accordingly, I looked up to him all my life. He recalls his service in the army during the Soviet Union with interest, pointing out that during that period of his life the army greatly helped him become more mature and more confident in his outlook on life. I think many of today’s youth will say that our fathers and grandfathers, who “passed through” the army of those times, are much stronger than at the present time. I don’t argue, now there are also pros and cons, but the difference is significant.

2. I served, experienced all the hardships and difficulties of army life, but my “strength of spirit” was somehow not very good. In my life’s journey, I have come across very few such representatives of humanity, and most likely I will not be able to evaluate them accurately enough. You never know what reasons influenced their character and/or state of mind. Here, either the service has somehow built it wrong somewhere, or... or it’s not the service. It's simple.

If we touch on the issue of “hazing,” I would like to say that there is no escape from it anyway, so moral confidence in one’s own abilities before entering the service is undoubtedly a plus. True, as history shows, in some units there are “grandfathers with mental disabilities” who sometimes go overboard, cross certain boundaries, after which the person (the recruit) is not brought up at all and matures, gets stronger and becomes more courageous, but quite the opposite. We can only hope that everything can be fixed, or, in extreme cases, everything can be treated. In any case, you need to “pull yourself together” and resolve the whole situation normally.

Well, okay, you can’t help with advice in each individual example, so let’s move on.

3. When I was a builder, I many times came across this type of men who never served in the army. But I’m ready to bet with anyone that many of them will easily prove themselves as defenders, be it in a situation with a girl, or in a situation with the Motherland, they will easily explain their point of view, and they can also hit them in the face with appropriate statements in their female address or address. It’s just that life didn’t work out for them to try on boots and shoulder straps. Whether it’s studying, illness or others life situations(for example – children... anything can happen). Ask me why I don’t say that these men are not trying to screw up? My answer is that any of them, in principle, is ready to go and serve normally, it’s just not up to them.

And often, service will not change much of their character. Normally “sharpened” hands and a thinking head allow them to create a family, feed it and protect it. These requirements are probably the most basic for the male half of our state. The girls will support me.

4. And finally, the last option. This is where the trouble really lies. I have also seen enough representatives of this type. To the question: “Attitude towards military service?”, mostly the answers are either “1.5 years of wasted time!”, or “They’re hurting my head and kidneys, do I need it?”, or “There’s nothing to do there” or “What did I forget there?” " Basically, behind all this lies ordinary cowardice, which subsequently accompanies the whole life and is hidden behind a set of complexes.

These “men” are afraid of hard work, they also cannot approach and meet a girl, same-sex love, etc. and so on. Degradation, in a word. My opinion is that all of them will be added to the army, they will definitely add masculinity.

The worst thing is that we cease to be able to say “NO!”, and above all to ourselves. No to smoking, especially at school. No – to excessive alcohol consumption, and as a result – addiction (but there are exceptions who were able to say “no” to themselves and whom I know personally). And also, no – sports and healthy image life (laziness, obesity and decreased sexual attraction– well, this, in my opinion, is generally out of the ordinary).

One good thing is that the vast majority of us are still normal, sober individuals. We are not afraid of hard or mental (but exhausting) work. In general, I believe that even if you have not served in the army, you should at least work with your hands, even purely for educational purposes.

We can meet a girl not only in a bar or at a disco in a “cheerful state”. And sometimes you just walk up on the street and start a conversation (this is actually not always that easy). In some not particularly pleasant situations, we can stand up for her and for ourselves. To summarize, I would like to say that the army has many advantages, as well as disadvantages. Some people simply need it, while others can do without it. In both cases, service in the armed forces is an integral part of building a man's character.

"You must be strong
You should be able to say:
Hands off, away from me!
You must be strong
Otherwise... Why would you be?”
Words from V. Tsoi's song

On the eve of April 1, the traditional date for the start of spring conscription into the Russian Armed Forces, Russian State Duma deputy Vadim Solovyov proposed a way to combat the low level of military-patriotic education of citizens.

According to the deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, the scope of the conscription period should be changed: instead of 10 years (with a conscription age of 18 to 27 years), an unlimited conscription should be introduced. In this case, the man will know: he “will be sent to serve at any age and there will be no reason to evade military service without good reason,” and if he “is caught at the age of 40, he will serve, and there will be no escape from it.”

In an interview with journalists, the parliamentarian said that “he will raise the question of abolishing all age categories from conscription into the army, in the event that a person rejected without good reason, if he had no reason not to serve. And this duty must remain with him for life.”

In turn, Timur Akulov, a member of the State Duma Committee on Defense, considers it necessary to discuss the amendments collectively. As a punishment for “draft dodgers” after the age of 27, he proposed sending them to the “worst job”...

The problem of conscripts evading the army is connected not only with an insufficient level of patriotic education, but also with insufficient motivation of the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, MP Franz Klintsevich is convinced.

Chairman of the specialized legal board “Draft” Arkady Chaplygin does not rule out that the abolition of the draft age limit could reduce the number of men deviating from service. However, he questioned whether draft dodgers over 27 years of age would be able to cope with the military load.

Are 30- and 50-year-old citizens needed in the army?

Expert opinions

,
Leading lawyer of the electronic resource "Antiprizyv.Ru":

If conscription into the army is unlimited, then no one will go there at all. Citizens after 27 years of age often already have two children and are no longer subject to conscription. Accordingly, they have a stable, normal job, so they will look for any way, including illegal ones, to avoid going there. This will simply increase the crime rate in our country.

We want to live like in Europe, both in terms of living standards and legal support citizens. Or do we want to live like in third world countries? Conscription for military service, it seems to me, is something like serfdom, which should have been abolished long ago.

,
General Director of the law firm “Prizyvnik”, member of the “Civil Power” party:

I think that the idea of ​​making conscription into the army indefinite is absolutely stupid. If you ask any commander of any military unit whether he needs 40-year-old conscripts, he will certainly answer you that he has nowhere to put the current 20-year-olds. The army is suffocating from an excess of conscripted citizens. If we continue to conscript people into military service indefinitely, until they are 40, until they are 60, we will, firstly, lose the money that these people pay as taxes, and we will lose the money that will have to be spent on their maintenance. And we will create an absolutely incapable army, which is staffed by people who, due to their physical characteristics, cannot defend their homeland. People are simply not capable of serving in the army at the age of 40 in the positions that staff military units for conscripts. There, excuse me, you have to run and jump.

I doubt that this initiative will not become law. We have a lot of ridiculous initiatives in the field of military law; in the field of conscription, they have become law. For example, since last year there has been a rule in force according to which citizens who have not completed military service without legal grounds are deprived of the right to enter state or municipal service. But at the same time, the restriction is introduced without guilt. If the draft commission has fulfilled the draft plan, and the young man has come, and the draft commission sees that draft is impossible because the plan has already been exceeded, he is sent home and thereby deprived of the right to enter the state and municipal service. If a citizen had a minor mental illness that allows him to serve in the army, but he is not called up to serve, then goodbye civil service. If this initiative has become a law, then why can’t another, no less stupid initiative become a law?

,
Corresponding Member of the Academy of Military Sciences, Member of the Public Council of the Chairman of the Military-Industrial Commission under the Government Russian Federation, Associate Professor, Faculty of World Politics, Moscow State University, Reserve Colonel:

There is nothing good in not limiting the draft age to 27 years old. Imagine a man at 45 years old, he has a job, a family, children. He will not meet all physical fitness standards. He has a belly, and he has to run and jump.
That's not even the point. I believe that the conscription age needs to be changed. Why? We must understand that a young man grows physically until he is 21 years old. If you just change the age of conscription, then a lot of problems will already be solved. 18-year-old boys are in conflict with themselves, and being in the barracks where no one is doing anything, they are naturally subject to hazing. One option is to change the conscription age.

For us, the main problem is not only the army, but also the military-industrial complex. It is during these years that military specialists can be trained for the military-industrial complex. When it comes to the fact that mothers are terribly afraid that their boys will end up in the army, this is understandable. We need to create conditions for contract service. And second. It is necessary to create all the conditions for the army to engage only in combat training.

,
Head of the Public Movement “Citizen and Army”, member of the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights under the President of the Russian Federation:

There are absolutely no advantages to being drafted into the army indefinitely. This is yet another initiative that arises before conscription. If you remember, a year ago, two years ago, three years ago, such horror stories already appeared. Thank God, for the most part they are not very well implemented, because the problem of draft dodgers does not exist in Russia.

The army is switching to a voluntary recruitment principle. The Army needs contract soldiers, and this program is now being successfully implemented. The army does not need conscripts, the number of whom the president has set the task of reducing by half by 2020. Nevertheless, all these pseudo-patriotic horror stories about how everyone must serve in the army, that the conscription age should be increased, that the spring conscription should be extended until the end of August, etc. appear with frightening regularity as April 1 approaches.

All these initiatives, which are not clear from where they arise, contradict the initiatives that are being carried out by the Ministry of Defense. For example, in September 2014, amendments to the law came into force, according to which students at universities, undergoing training at military departments, at new military departments that are now being deployed, and receiving a military specialty not only as an officer, but also as a sergeant and just a soldier, can undergo military service without interruption from training. Once a week they go to the military department, and during the holidays they participate in military training for 3 months. After graduating from college, they receive a military ID and are no longer conscripted. This is a very good initiative. In parallel with this, university graduates, those who have a higher education, are given the opportunity to immediately sign a contract for 2 years and go to service for 2 years under a contract. The direction of development of the voluntary army and the development of contract service is being successfully implemented.

According to the latest VTsIOM poll:

Near 47% of the population do not want their close relatives to serve in the Armed Forces
- 30% respondents said that they would not join the army if martial law was introduced.

Levada Center survey on the eve of Defender of the Fatherland Day “Army Service and Military Threats”:

Do you think there is now a military threat from other countries?

Do you think our army is now capable of defending Russia in the event of a real military threat from other countries?

If someone in your family were to be drafted into the army, would you prefer that they serve in the army - or would you look for a way to avoid serving in the army?

If someone in your family were to be drafted into the army, would you prefer that they serve a year as a conscript or a two-year contract?

Alternative service:

Alternative military service in 2015 remains a current opportunity to replace conscription military service for citizens of the Russian Federation. The right to alternative service is guaranteed by the Constitution and regulated by Federal Law No. 113-FZ of June 25, 2002 “On alternative civil service.”

In accordance with this law, citizens receive the right to alternative service in two cases:

1) Military service goes against the religion or beliefs of the conscript (pacifists, Buddhists, etc.)
2) The conscript belongs to a small indigenous people who lead traditional farming and crafts

AGS is a replacement for service only for those who are found fit to perform primary service in the RF Armed Forces. Distribution happens the same way.

The essence of the alternative service:

Specific work activity for the benefit of the state: 65 professions and 61 positions (low-skilled types of work):

1) Professions in the sectors of livestock breeding, industry, agriculture, medicine, education: cooks, carpenters, auxiliary workers, gardeners, orderlies, mechanics, carpenters, tractor drivers, cleaners
2) A number of specialties related to shipping - assistant skipper, etc.
3) Medical positions, including doctor positions
4) Acting positions, including "ballet dancer" and "orchestra artist"
5) Work related to computers, in particular, “programmer”

The duration of the AGS depends on the location of its passage:

1) 1.5 times longer if the AGS takes place in organizations related to the RF Armed Forces
2) 1.75 times more if in third parties
