China is the most populous country in the world, with a total population of 1.4 billion. Due to its large population, the mainland is very different from other countries in terms of military service system. Countries with relatively small populations, such as South Korea, make military service mandatory for men. However, unlike China, the mainland's military service system is voluntary, you can choose to participate or not, and there are also a variety of deep selection conditions, such as vision, physical fitness, physical condition, etc., and those who do not meet these conditions will not be able to join the army. One of the things that confuses many people is that people with scars are not allowed to join the army.
When they were young, boys mostly harbored some naïve ideas that "scars are the glory of men". Occasionally fall or get hurt, leave scars or even wish it would scar and make yourself look cooler. Although this is not the right value, children when they are young are full of naughtiness, and it is reasonable to have some small frictions and scars. Aren't these people suitable for joining the army? Of course not. According to the enlistment regulations, as long as the scar is not in a conspicuous position and the area is small, it can pass the military service examination. Seeing this, some people will think that scars can be passed if they are not obvious and small, is it because the military also values appearance and is worried that scars will affect the image of the troops?
In fact, many people misunderstand. The soldiers are handsome and dashing, thanks to the unique temperament of the soldiers, and have little to do with the selection of enlistment. We in China have never been a country of good appearance, and we will not deprive people of their enthusiasm for dedicating themselves to the country because of these little things. There is actually a deeper consideration for the scar term.
Military personnel are one of the high-risk occupations. Although China is not usually involved in world wars, participating in peacekeeping, fighting crime, anti-narcotics and other tasks requires the participation of soldiers. In these cases, our soldiers are confronted with extremely vicious thugs. If you have a scar or tattoo in a visible location, it means that you are more easily recognized by enemies. When a soldier is discharged from the army, he is likely to be recognized by outlaws and retaliated against for these characteristics. Therefore, this is also a reason for the safety of the soldiers.
At the same time, the training process of soldiers is very difficult and highly loaded. The scar is actually a part of the skin tissue missing, and if you participate in these high-load trainings, large areas of scars may re-crack, affecting the physical health of soldiers. Therefore, for security reasons, people with large scars cannot join the army. After all, we go to the army to defend our country, not to harm ourselves while training.
The above is the reason why China weeds out people with large or obvious scars during the enlistment review, and it can be said that the state is all for their good. If you can't become a soldier because of the large scars on your body, don't be discouraged, we can serve the motherland in other ways.
