Young woman is interviewed on TV and suggests, I gather, that she thinks Korean males should serve 3 years, not 2 years, in the military.
The third photo indicates her motivation for wanting another year of peace away from the oppas in her life. |

| Wouldn't a third year of Korean military training make a dude even worse? |

| Compulsory military service is a disgusting infringement on freedom and personal liberty, especially when a) it's only for men (why not women? I can answer that myself), and b) it's done during the years a young man is setting the course for his life. |

| Compulsory military service is the only way that Korea can become an independent state. It is a country that is still technically at war, so it might be a good idea to have a few men at arms. Anyone who snivels about rights, should try and get a dose of reality...The other option is having your nation taken over while your young adult males buy shirts with shoe graphics, carry their girlfriend's purses or make semi-homosexual hand placements on other men's upper thighs during a 4-way game of Euro07 on the PS2. |

Battalions of young and old Korean females have been in covert operations inside of Korea for many years.
Training includes dropping cases of perfume, fashionable clothes and shoes, bargain giftsets and plastic bowls of fruit or veg, sometimes 10s of miles away.
The 'Ajummas in training' are then giving the map coordinates and have to reach their objective in any way possible, within a certain time. These exercises are set in both urban and rural areas.
If you encounter these stressed and harried ladies, identifiable by their goal-oriented behaviour and tight timetables, stay out of their way. These are the crack troops of The Republic. |

| This sort of thing (images of unappreciative selfish princesses) was used as efficient fuel in the Great DwenJangNyuh (된장녀) Battles with which the Korean web space was plagued a while back. |

If the freedoms the young men you mock were truly in jeopardy, I'm confident that a lot of them would fight to defend them. There would be less soldiers than under conscription, but from my understanding, it's widely recognized among military experts that a volunteer army performs better that a conscripted one.
If, for some reason, there were a legitimate reason for forcing young men to serve in the armed forces, there would still be no logical reason for excluding young women. |
