The golden 3 months!

Last Wednesday the parliament members of Iran began to debate on new law of military service. According to the new law, male persons who have diploma (of finishing high school) or higher degrees don’t need to serve the military service—by charging some money they escape from the service. And according to the law, other guys should complete an 18-month service, generally in severe conditions and earning a shamefully low amount of monthly salary.

Now, military service in Iran is 21 months and mandatory for all males. As a person who has served about 17 months of the service, I am anxiously desire the law to get approved and applicable to me. But all of my friends and I know that this is much a maneuver by parliament in its finishing days than a step towards making us relaxed and free from the damn service. But still I just hope we get the 3-month decrease. You see kind of hopes in this country!
