I think it should be the other way around, them paying you. If your going to risk your life, isn't it worth anything? How does this government come up with this figure on how much you can pay? Can it be payed in installments or all at once?

it depends on how valuable you are to your government.
depends on how the gov treats the individual.
in some countries you owe a service to the country just being born in it. theres nothing like you choose to serve, but the system chooses you, just because you belong to the gov, your blood, your body, your mind is no yours but countries.

So for example you have a husband, wife and kids. In Turkey you must serve in the military unless you pay the government not too. (Not sure how fair that is) But ok, so your husband gets sent off to the military. How does the wife and kids survive? Does the husband get paid anything while in the military and sends the money back home? I just don't understand how the family is suppose to be taken care of..Anyone?

 your family isnt so much important
important is the service to the country
the gov feeds the nation with patriotic slogans, that you wont find any excuse to avoid it.
moreover, you should take into consideration the background/history, if the country has gone through loads of wars, it is difficult to think the other way, plus theres always a sort "threatens" from all other nations, maybe, anyone can be your enemy, you better standby.

Well, he does get a tiny salary while in the military.
they get nothing, unless he dies! I am a consultant at Axa Oyak, an insurance company that is joint venture between a French insurer and the Army Pension Fund. We will be paying 12000 YTL to the family of every man who was martyred this weekend. Not much, but it will help a little.

Thanks Marion for sharing this. I feel so sad for these families. I wish there was a way, we could adopt families of wounded soldiers, etc in Turkey. Do you know if they have something like that?
