"Continental powers without a murmur submitted to the introduction of a military service, that is, to the slavery, which for the degree of degradation and loss of will cannot be compared with any of the ancient conditions of slavery". - Leo Tolstoy (Patriotism and Government, 1905)

A nation of military... a military-nation... A land of the heroes... Soldiers aged from 7 to 77... What a great achievement it is... indeed it is a land of a__h__es came together to give pleasure each other... this is a f__king country...
Is a land of peace of understanding possible? I dream of it... Change should be possible. I am insisting on dreaming of a Land of Peace.

The Beginning

Today I officially start to "serve the nation". This "sacred service" will go on for 6 months until 1st of 2010.
Right now I have no idea where I am going to be assigned and what I will be obliged to do there.
In this blog I will try to share my observations and thoughts as well as some of my emotions about the military slavery (defined by Tolstoy in the main page of this blog).

“Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism.” - Martin Luther King
