PEC or not PEC: army of the future from libertarians

PEC or not PEC: army of the future from libertarians

How living our words. Especially little-known and recently appeared in the vocabulary of most people. In particular libertarianism. A beautiful word meaning freedom as the basic principle of human life. freedom of choice, freedom of voluntary association of interests, freedom to live like this, as you want. Independence from the state ...

It's too hard for me to distinguish between this very libertarianism and the old “good” anarchy. And there was no need for me until recently. Remember, a little over a year, the future president of one adjacent territory called this very libertarianism his ideology and the ideology of the state, which he was going to lead. So what? Not much time has passed, and already the president of this territory even forgot this word.

But our supporters of this idea remember. Furthermore, they began to apply the principles of libertarianism in their conversations about the future. Tom future, for which they are "ready to go to the chopping block". In the sense of holding a meeting in the squares and streets of Russian cities. by the way, they even found examples of the implementation of this idea in real life. Voluntary fire brigades and National Guard units in Western countries and the USA! "People voluntarily unite and put out fires or eliminate the consequences of natural disasters and catastrophes".

The army should become a voluntary association of people to defend the Motherland during the war

Talk about, that today the army as one of the instruments of the state has outlived its usefulness, have been going on for a long time. The army has outlived its usefulness, according to some philosophers, at 19 century. Then the army outlived itself in 20 century. The tradition continues in the first quarter 21 century. "Army – it's a huge stomach ulcer of the state, in which a huge amount of funds disappear, necessary to improve the life of the common man " – remember the tirade?..

Really, maintenance costs, training and arming the army for any state – quite burdensome item of expenditure. Furthermore, army costs are constantly growing. Grow even then, when the army is not fighting, but simply exists and learns to master military equipment and weapons. In the event of the outbreak of war, costs increase many times.

But, many still remember and quote the statement of the emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, the truth is often confused about the authorship, about your own and someone else's army. "People, who doesn't want to feed his army, will feed someone else's "! Remember just because, that already in the memory of our generation there are examples from life, which confirm the correctness of the thought of Napoleon Bonaparte. Examples are tragic ...

Country, who paid little attention to their own army, who hoped to mobilize society in case of war, lost wars quickly enough and lost part of their own territories, or even occupied by foreign armies.

And vice versa, even small states, who really cared about their own safety, successfully opposed more powerful states or by their very existence served and serve as an excellent "cold shower" for the hot heads of hawks from other countries.

Israel, being surrounded by hostile countries, not only successfully confronts these countries, but he himself dictates the policy in the region. Wherein, tell about, that Israel is politically subservient to its stronger allies, like the USA or EU countries, do not dare. The Israelis perfectly bring the Russian proverb to life – "An affectionate calf sucks two queens".

West wants to give respite to militants, urging Damascus to stop fighting over coronavirus

North Korea does not fight. Furthermore, it does not possess many types of modern weapons. But strong fighting spirit, a large enough army can scare any enemy. What we saw in the USA. American "dog" ran around the fence, barked at the gate and ran away. Just because, that a small North Korean lynx could have been bitten by a small North Korean lynx behind the fence ...

PMC – the prototype of the army of the future

About private military companies and ours, and abroad, so much written, that it would seem it's time to close the question. Legal PMCs are just private security companies, which can perform the functions of protecting objects in the territories of other countries. The participation of PMCs in hostilities on someone else's side automatically makes them illegal. That is why there are quite secret PMCs. There is a gray goose market, mercenaries, "Soldier of fortune". These are the combatants, which are not subject to laws and international treaties.

A lack of understanding of the very essence of PMCs and mercenaries led to, that today the voices of those, who sees in PMCs the prototype of the army of the future. Good, that even supporters of this idea have an understanding that, that ordinary, normal people will not volunteer to fight. The number of those, for whom war is becoming a way of life, not big enough.

The reason for, that PMCs will be an army, supporters of the idea call the voluntary nature of these companies. In principle, you cannot argue with this. Really, go to PMCs or mercenaries voluntarily. There is no need to talk about the reasons for this decision.. Man decided and decided.

But then a simple question arises. PMCs exist today due to the fact, that they perform some tasks for money. This is normal business. You pay, i am doing work. Hence the reverse principle. No payment – No work. And the third principle. We carry out work at that, who will pay more. And where is the state? Where is Homeland? Money as an incentive to get the job done…

It turns out really bad for the supporters of the "new army". we, taxpayers, We will have to pay the army-PMCs more, than our opponent. Wherein, our "defenders" can quite legally go over to the side of the enemy simply because, that the salary is higher there. Nothing personal, just business.

The idea of ​​voluntarily uniting people to carry out the tasks of the country's defense is initially stupid.. Outwardly, you can create a powerful army of those who want to serve. Furthermore, you can train this army and make it really strong. But, you can't make an army immortal! And the enemy is a gentleman, who will shout in advance "I'm going at you", cannot be done.

Modern wars are started by professionals, and the reservists finish. I'm talking about global wars. Where do we get reservists for the volunteer army?? Volunteers serve. and this, who doesn't want to serve, they won't fit the army for a cannon shot. And in the end?

As a result, another "defense of Moscow 1941 of the year". Dozens, maybe hundreds, thousand militias, who did not even have time to shoot in their first battle? Thousands of people, who deliberately go to die just because, that the fools with the shoulder straps of officers and generals decided, that the army will be able to win on its own? Percentage of conscripted militias who returned home after the war?

When it comes to the country's defense, you need to forget the buzzwords

Sometimes I feel ashamed of the degradation of our society. We are missing something in the education and upbringing of our youth. We agree to, that our children are dumber than us. "Will increase, get smarter, then he will understand…».

And if you don't understand? After all, not everyone gets wiser with age. Furthermore, as the bitter experience of the adjacent territory shows, age is not at all a measure of the mind. And all that, what was inspired all my life, easily "washed away" by counter-propaganda, based on base instincts and desires.

Have you noticed in which stratum of our society ideas are most often born?, like that, which I wrote about above? This is youth! Moreover, those youth, who today "sees on her parents' neck". Most often they are students. People, who study today! People, who are taught today! Older people teach. We learn!

What will happen tomorrow? And tomorrow these are no longer students, and specialists, become leaders. not this, who is at the machine today and they have no time to ponder the fate of the world, and these, who study. Tomorrow it will be junior and middle managers. And the day after tomorrow? Across 15-20 years, some of today's students will be a minister, governor, deputy. They will lead the country. And they will determine the domestic and foreign policy of our country.

I remember the expression of Kozma Prutkov. "Not every man even has a hussar uniform to his face". That's why I think, that our task today is, to educate those, who the "hussar uniform" really suits. So that it is these people who decide the fate of the Russian army.

And the "uniform" can be not only "hussar". There are many areas for youth to apply their strengths. And everywhere there is a "uniform". As a familiar sniper training instructor once said: "Accuracy – courtesy of snipers ". Necessary, so that all future leaders have their own "politeness".
