From "šurovanie" to cutting of inch-tape (life in the soldier´s community)

Summary/Abstract: The study introduces soldiers of basic compulsory military service and doing their civic duty from the point of view of ethnology. The first part contains historical information about military duties. In second part I am trying to define social group of the basic compulsory military service soldiers. In another part of my study I am focusing on analysis of phenomenon called “mazácka vojna”. The last part indicates value attitudes of respondents towards the basic compulsory military service. In the 19. and first half of 20. century passing through military service meant achievement of adulthood and ability of get married. Informers declared that passing through military service in the 21. century doesn`t mean to be adult. According to the resondents there´s no sense in passing military service. They agreed with foundation of professional army.
