 We all remember a commercial shown by numerous national
television channels before the 2008 August war in which a tank
violating traffic rules outruns a car. The young driver of the car is
fascinated by the capabilities of the tank. Another young person climbs
out of the tank and calls to him with a shout, “Come to the reserve,
it’s cool!” In the two years following the August war, new militarist
video clips are expected. The government is currently amending the laws
concerning reserve service and the calls for militarism have increased
in President Saakashvili’s speeches.

 When I learned at school, we had one subject on the time-table - “military lesson”. I remember only entertainment from those lessons. Our teacher was former military servant who did not recognize girls. He taught boys how to fall gun into pieces and then compose again. Besides that, this process was always followed by laughing. The teacher, whose name and face I do not remember, was very serious person but we became unserious having seen the gun. In short, when I try to recall those lessons, I have vague but pleasant feeling because I see the smiling faces of the boys with arms. |
