Every Saturday afternoon in the military theory class, on the way to the classroom, I always hear some students say something like this: "What do you think is the use of taking the military theory class?" It's a waste of time to talk on paper and recite some English words. "When I heard this, my heart was always a little uncomfortable.
I believe that there are not a few students who have similar ideas with the above. So why did the above idea appear? The reason is that students don't have enough sense of national defense and hardship. The sense of hardship is the key to the sense of national defense.
As our generation grew up in a peaceful era and country, the long-term peace and the enhancement of people's market concept have made many people have a weak sense of national defense and think that war is far away from them, but it is not. In reality, regional wars and conflicts may break out at any time, and national defense is not a distant topic.
Today, China's security is full of hidden dangers. The internal problem of Taiwan Province Province has not yet been solved, and there has been another great uprising in Tibet; The Nansha Islands are occupied by small countries in Southeast Asia, and the dispute between China and Japan in the East China Sea and Diaoyu Islands is escalating. It is particularly noteworthy that, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the gradual decline of Russia, the western superpowers regard China as the biggest obstacle to their world domination in the 2nd/Kloc-0 century, and begin to curb the development of China by various means, and China is facing domestic troubles and foreign invasion. It can be said that the current national defense pattern of China is not optimistic. On the surface, the song and dance are peaceful, but in fact, the waves are rough and the threat of war always exists. Coupled with the international environment of "one super-strong", we have to be vigilant at all times.
College students should have a certain understanding of the connotation of national defense. National defense refers to all defensive measures taken by the ruling class or country to defend the sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity and security of the class or country, and all related activities carried out therefrom. The subject of national defense is the organizer or executor of national defense activities, usually referring to the ruling class or country. The main purpose of national defense is to defend the sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity and security of the country. National defense means refers to all methods and measures taken to achieve national defense purposes, and the main means is military. The object of national defense refers to all acts of foreign aggression and internal reactionary forces that national defense should guard against and resist.
College students strengthen their national defense concept by learning national defense knowledge, but this only stays at the theoretical level of rhetoric. Short-term military training after freshmen report for duty every year provides college students with an opportunity to directly experience the essence of national defense. Military training is a military service obligation that college students must fulfill, a strategic measure to strengthen the construction of national defense reserve forces and an important means of all-round development. Carrying out military training can improve college students' physical fitness, strengthen their physique, cultivate excellent team spirit and collectivism consciousness, cultivate their fearless, tenacious and hard-working style and fighting spirit, and make their physical and mental quality develop and improve in an all-round way. In addition, military training for college students can reserve a large number of military reserve talents for the country, lay the foundation for building a strong national defense reserve force, and train outstanding talents for national economic construction and national defense construction.
Learning national defense knowledge can stimulate college students' patriotic enthusiasm. Patriotism is manifested in loving the motherland's great rivers and mountains, science and culture, long history and fine traditions, and caring about the future and destiny of the motherland, the people and the country. Lenin pointed out: patriotism is an infinite love for the motherland that has been fixed for thousands of years, which enables us to hate the aggressors, actively participate in the construction of the motherland, and shed blood to defend the motherland. We college students shoulder the heavy responsibility of building the future, which requires us to have more cultural and scientific knowledge, higher moral quality, harder struggle spirit and more civilized behavior habits than our predecessors.
As senior intellectuals in China in the future, college students don't need us to carry guns to the battlefield for the time being, but that doesn't mean we have nothing to do. What we should do is still very important. In a country, intellectuals are an important part of national defense forces. During the war years, today's college students are good soldier of tomorrow's high-tech arms. With the progress of the times, today's war has been a contest between science and technology and knowledge, which is finally reflected in the contest of talents, and college students are the main body of the technical talent team. Therefore, it must be noted that college students' learning knowledge itself is an enhancement of national defense strength.
Due to the increasingly obvious trend of globalization, the contest between countries in peacetime has changed from an arms race to an economic competition. The first direction for college students to contribute to national defense after graduation may be economy. After receiving a good national defense quality education, you may feel the importance of business secrets to the country; You may realize the significance of buying domestic products to the national economy under the same conditions; It is understandable that the economic contest of 2 1 century has an impact on the survival and development of the country.
Through the opening of national defense courses, I have a certain understanding of today's national defense from the perspective of thought, theory and practice, feel a heavy sense of responsibility and mission in myself, realize my obligations, and know that studying hard every day is not only for myself but also for the country. I think, if all college students can stand at the height and position of the country, combine the concept of national defense with their usual scientific and cultural study, and start to care about national affairs instead of being confined to their own small world every day, in the long run, I believe that our daily study will be more motivated and our daily mental state will be fuller.
"Qualified politically, competent militarily, excellent style, strict discipline and strong guarantee" echoed in my ears during military training. The country is rich and the people are safe, and everyone expects it!
