The military conscription system in South Korea Hello people! How are you today? How's it going with your weekend? I hope all of you enjoy the weekend before Monday is coming. ;) I'm studying about the military conscription in South Korea since I have to discuss it with my friends in English. In my opinion, I think S. Korea still need to keep the conscription system because S. Korea is one of few countries where is still on the war. And since no Korean boys want to go to the military service, the conscription seems to be a must. Based on my experience, I was the one who used to consider this system as a waste of all Korean youths before I went to navy. However my thought totally changed after having done with military service that we still need enough members and period to get trained in military. Because we still keep this conscription system, North Korea don't dare to invade us for now. What do you think about this topic? And how do you feel about Korean young boys who has to go to Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine, or Special Force?
