The prestige of military service in our country is not great anyway, but it is being lowered more and more. There is a feeling that they want to make sure that no one went to serve in the army at all, they mean professional soldiers. Against this background, what are the statements of the president about increasing the salaries of servicemen and providing them with housing? A year ago, when the budget for 2010 was discussed, President Medvedev was confident that his instructions on the soonest solution of housing problems in the army and navy would be fulfilled. But it turns out that the government has made adjustments to these promises. This information was not disclosed anywhere and appeared in the State Duma only on November 1.
"As recognized by the first deputy chairman of the Duma Defense Committee of United Russia Yuri Savenko, in the opinion he signed on the draft budget for 2011-2013, it is noted that" the bill does not provide for budgetary funds to carry out, in accordance with the decisions of the President of the Russian Federation, the reform of the pay of servicemen. " period. The representative of the ruling party in this document makes a disappointing conclusion: "Given the outrunning growth in prices for essential goods, we can expect a further deterioration in the social status of most of the servicemen and military pensioners." According to the deputy, "there is also a tendency to reduce the difference between the old-age labor pension and the military pension, which negatively affects the material support of military pensioners and the stimulation of military service in the Armed Forces." It is also noted that the solution to the housing problems of officers who left the Armed Forces since 2010. postponed to 2013. You understand that the elections in 2012. They will sell it and everything will be decided "by itself" either with new promises or they will simply say - this was promised by the old president, and there are claims to him.
This is how our State Duma deputies solve the problems of the army. Well, they did not foresee the budgetary funds, and that's it. One gets the impression that both the President and the State Duma and the Minister of Defense are systematically and consistently destroying and destroying the Russian army, creating impossible conditions for regular servicemen. Who generally sits in our State Duma if they are not able to allocate budget money for the military needs already promised by the president? The President, however, will keep silent about this, because it is not the first time our leaders have promised and not fulfilled.
Isn't it time for our president, defense minister and the State Duma to openly declare - We don't need an army at all, let our national interests be protected by the NATO army, it's enough to hide our true intentions, they are visible to everyone. Why be afraid then, well, they will make some noise on the Internet on news sites and forums and nothing else will happen. But there will be no army and there is no need to spend money on it, we will get more ourselves.
