I wish you good health, comrade readers! On the nose is February 23, and today I offer you (although the army does not propose, but order) to form a marching column and immerse yourself in the army life of the UAE armed forces for a couple of minutes.
Introduction: "piano" is a man (a real man) in one of the dialects of the UAE.
The armed forces of the UAE until 2014 were staffed exclusively by contract soldiers. Only UAE citizens and some neighboring friendly states could join the ranks of local armed forces.
At the same time, military service provides many social and economic benefits (for example: service in good hospitals, interest-free housing loans and cash gifts from the army for the birth of a child). In addition, being a military is prestigious, the army is advertised at every turn, and after the service of the former military they are willingly taken to very good positions.
In 2014, a new law was passed in the UAE, which obliged all male citizens from 18 to 30 years to perform military service. Moreover, if the conscript has a diploma of high school graduation, he serves 9 months, if not, 2 years (you imagine, many of the new generation of emirates do not even finish school).
Many say that the call was introduced to strengthen the army in a difficult military-political situation. The situation in Yemen, the protracted war in neighboring countries, terrorist groups - all this threatens the UAE. But I think the main reason is different. The UAE government sees very well that young people are not interested in anything. They are given grants to study abroad, anywhere in the world - only express your desire, but not many are willing. And most of those who travel abroad - come back in six months due to deductions. Young people provide excellent employment opportunities, but they do not want to work. They believe that life consists only of pleasures, and they do not encounter difficulties. The wise sheikhs decided that it was time to educate their youth a little. And they sent everyone to the army.
For "sloping away from the army, a fine and imprisonment are provided. But if you honestly served, you will receive: a wedding gift from the state (in money terms, not bed linen), a discount on the car, free training at the university, help in starting a business and advantage in employment.
In general, get out of your Lamborgini, fellow conscripts. Become, equal, humbly!
