It happened a very long time, but this old man to give up their positions ultramodern automatic rifles, machine guns, submachine guns and other minigun (a six-barreled gun, like Schwarzenegger in "Terminator") is not going to surrender completely. And why? Let's face it. Ordinary shot shotgun is valuable for many situations in the near and very close battle ... its fragmentation. Or shot. Or drobovitostyu. In general, the ability to shoot at one time a large pile of charges that do not require precise aiming. And it is very valuable in many combat situations.

However, to remain "eternal student" will not work: the second higher education, as well as an infinite number of sabbatical leave, deferment from the army does not. Because obtaining the longed-diploma will rise again the eternal question.

What is needed military reform?

In recent years, the newspaper devotes considerable attention to issues of military reform. Despite the urgency, the establishment of an expensive professional army in Russia is rather vague prospect. It is obvious that military spending will form an excessive burden on the budget. But, in my view, be a slight change in the existing organization of the army, or as they say now, to humanize military service. To do this, not only to reduce the tenure of which have long been saying.

Who invented this system, when the eighteen boys tear from their homes, depriving the latter of spiritual support? They serve hundreds and even thousands of miles from home. In the notorious Soviet times there were even such facts as stated in the eighteenth train on the way to a military unit. Is this justified violence against boys?
