Why do Koreans have to do military service? How is it not voluntary, as in China

From an economic point of view, too many military personnel are equivalent to wasting labor and increasing the burden. The consumption of a soldier is very large, equal to the work supply of 3 people, in addition, now the war is not based on the number of people, there are single operations, squad operations, but there are not tens of thousands of people with guns to charge.

Like Taiwan, it has a small population. Switzerland is a soldier for all.

All the people are soldiers, and there are few Koreans, so if there is a war, few people will shoot.

I remember that in the political books, military service was a legal obligation.

The Chinese population is no larger than the army, which is only 2.3 million regular troops. The United States has an army of nearly 700,000 and a population of only about 300 million.

Because there are very few young people in South Korea, and there are very few people in Korea who volunteer for military service, it must be mandatory. And there are a lot of Chinese, the Chinese have a very strong sense of homeland, and young people are very willing to conscript.

Because all the people who were the Chinese pure duanshu were soldiers, the Eighth Route Army at that time adhered to the strategy of all the people being soldiers, so that the fight would achieve victory in the War of Resistance against Japan, plus the Chinese population was very large, so it was voluntary.

Legal Analysis: South Korea's military service system is mandatory, male citizens between the ages of 20 and 28 must serve in the military, and the length of service varies depending on the type of service, but the shortest branch of the military also needs to serve for 24 months. Due to its sensitive geographical location and the limited number of its own citizens, South Korea could not guarantee that it would have enough full-time troops to complete the population base for national defense, so it implemented a conscription system.

Legal basis: Military Service Law of the People's Republic of China Article 3 Citizens of the People's Republic of China, regardless of ethnicity, race, occupation, family origin, religious belief or educational level, are obliged to perform military service in accordance with the provisions of this Law. Persons with severe physical defects or disabilities who are unfit for military service are exempt from military service.

Persons deprived of their political rights in accordance with the law shall not be allowed to serve in the military.

South Korea has no wartime command, so why should men have to serve in the military when they reach adulthood? The reason is simple.

Legal Analysis: Although South Korea has U.S. troops stationed, it is still a sovereign country with its own military service system.
