If you have seen some war films made by Koreans, such as "R2B: Return to Base", "Shiwei Island" and "Highland War", etc., it gives people the feeling that the South Korean army is facing the point of not being able to do it, but if you know enough about the real face of the South Korean army, you will find that it is not so simple behind it, how sad is the Korean army in reality? Few young South Koreans want to be soldiers.
First of all, there is the issue of treatment, according to the treatment of soldiers announced by South Korea, the income of a South Korean corporal is 110,000 yuan per month, does it look like a lot? But don't forget, this is won, and South Korea is a "pseudo-developed country", the consumption level is very exaggerated, 110,000 won is converted into rmb, it is more than 600 yuan to die, our conscripts have 800 yuan, more than 600 yuan, what is the income in South Korea?
An ordinary family income in Seoul, South Korea, has reached 2 million won, if it is working in a big chaebol, it is possible to get 4 million won, in contrast, this income is completely incomparable, not to mention that before it was said, South Korea is a "pseudo-developed country", their consumption level is very high, we often eat meat on weekdays, in South Korea, that is the upper class can only enjoy the food, Korean meat prices are very high, to what extent?
Almost 110,000 won for an ordinary corporal, which is enough for the next restaurant or two. And the Rok army food is not the same, as I said before, South Korea is a high-consumption country, don't look at the soldiers' food expenses per meal reached 6,000 won, equivalent to almost 30 yuan, but in fact, they can eat very little, coupled with the South Korean army corruption problem is very serious, which further makes the soldiers eat less, it is said that the Rok army has found out that the troop cooks embezzled half of the soldiers' food expenses per meal, which shows how sad the Rok soldiers are.
Moreover, there is still a situation of bullying by the ROK army, every ROK soldier can not avoid being bullied by the superior commanders, and even often hear the news of the suicide of the ROK soldiers, and the reason is very simple, it is because the strict hierarchy system in the army has bred the bullying of the lower soldiers by the superior commanders of the ROK army, and you have nowhere to seek justice, you say, how disgusting this situation is.
If these things are all good, but don't forget, South Korea is not a safe country, they often have to face the threat of the north, don't look at the fact that everyone is at peace now, but in theory, South Korea and North Korea are not completely peaceful now, just signed a ceasefire agreement, and the relationship between the two is good and bad, there are frequent outbreaks of friction, in case of any day the real knife and real gun are done, whether life can be guaranteed is unknown.
So, this is why many young Koreans desert military service abound, this is really not the South Korean soldiers themselves are willing, who let South Korea is now mandatory conscription, every South Korean needs to serve in the army for a period of time, unless you can contribute to the country in the Olympic Games or some other projects, otherwise you must be forced to serve in the army, in order to desert the military, they are also doing everything.
