“The budget that has existed is already minimal before the cut, and then it cut until 15 percent. Can you imagine it? Sure it will influence on the planning that has been the priority of TNI. Those planning surely related with the join practice which is very hard to do, also the prosperous level of the soldiers it self,” he said.

Happy saw if the join practice didn’t do, so it will be useless to speak about TNI’s professionalism. “TNI’s condition nowadays seems a drop of. In the end a soldier when become a soldier, his highest value only at the limit of patriotism, because if related with the prosperous matter and professional capacity it is very low,” he revealed.

Happy add, about the soldiers prosperous that still minimal, he assumed on the calories needs of a TNI soldier as big as 3000 calorie/day which is equal with 85 thousand rupiah. “Few times ago the finances minister said there is already an increasing, but the escalation only at the level of 35 thousand rupiah / day for a soldier. How can we talk about it, this is objective. That’s why the government should take solutions steps,” Happy affirm it. (Subhan/Trans.Devi)
