The situation across the Taiwan Strait is tense, and coupled with changes in the international situation, a Taiwan poll showed that 76% of respondents over 20 years old agreed to serve for at least one year. Some media reported that Tsai Ing-wen decided to resume recruitment for one year, but the Taiwan military said that the case has not yet been decided. At the same time, the media also reported that many college students are considering taking a leave of school to join the army first to avoid extending their military service affecting their future career plans, or regret not using the winter and summer vacations to serve in the military first.
How long should Taiwan’s compulsory soldiers serve in the military? If you simply go from the perspective of military training, of course, the longer you train, the more you become, the more refined you become; but if you think about the overall social environment and even the economic development, it is not the absolute correct answer; and what is more direct to each man and his family is what impact will the extension of military service have on the development of life, or whether it is possible that you can really work hard on the battlefield!
Nowadays, with the prolonged military service, more and more "realistic" considerations and voices have emerged one after another. In addition to some college students who have considered taking a break from school to serve early, the popularity of online discussions has gradually increased, especially those who are a veteran. Now they have to think about whether their life plans may be disrupted, and they are also beginning to worry that the combat skills training that will inevitably increase in the future will be too laborious or the training benefits are not good.
One of the reasons why they are puzzled is that the years of military service have decreased from that year to the current four months. At that time, politicians of various parties proposed the reasons why the situation in the cross-strait has eased, the era of "digital war on science and technology" and the waste of human resources due to excessive service period? Now, except for the situation on the cross-strait is becoming more serious, what other changes have been made? Is the only way to solve the problem of extending the service period? Moreover, up to 76% of the "adults" agreed to serve men for at least one year, but how many voices have the adults heard of men of their age?
" Sun Tzu's Art of War · The First Exploration Chapter " says: "Soldiers are the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival and death. We must observe it." For the soldiers who really want to serve in the military or even go to the battlefield, they obviously consider life and death and interests more. How can there be so many green politicians call the so-called "Taiwan national justice"? Instead of criticizing young people for being "verbally honest", the "adults" should obviously question the people who have the right to decide major social affairs, how did they bring Taiwan to such a dangerous situation?
