- Hay buddy, you seemed not to have ever studied about the strategy and the war
- history and their properites at all. At the peaceful time of era, anybody can
- sing a song with laughing.
-
- Nobody can prove that there will be any more war on this erath in the future.
-
- Some historian told that mankind has only 50 year of pure peaceful time and
- other days are filled with the war time.
-
- Now still we hear thw wars in Europe and Africa.
- You live in US, the strongest country which needs not to be afraid of
- any country on the erath. But clington told that he would maintain the
- stroingest army althoguh the cold war was over.
-
- How you can prove that the north will not break out the war.
-
- The war can be occured if one side think that he can win at last.
-
- Also war can be used to maintain one's position in power.
-
- The buddy who thinks that now is the time to get rid of army looks so naive
- and does not seem to live long enogugh to realize the life itself.
-
- Think of L.A riot. Any korean-American have ever imagine that their property
- have ever turned in the trash for several days of chaios?
- The police helped them? and protected them?
-
-
- NO !!!!!
-
- Korean-American in LA had to use gun and armor for themselves. They had to
- aim the gun against the yesterday's neighbour.
-
- The international relations are similar to that situation.
-
- There is no ultimate force to control the war.
-
- When Cold war was over, Iraq has invaded Kuwait. If US did not enough military
- power to calm down Iraq, what could be happened?
-
- Who knows if tomorrow US withraw its army from Korea?
-
- Can you gurrant that US will never withraw its army from Korean?
-
- Yes. North korea seems to change. Good news of course.
-
- But does this gurranty that N.Korea will never break out the WAR?
-
- in 1950 they have ever made it already and the foundation of N. Korean
- is based on the red-unified korea still. They have never gave up
- this kind of idealogy up to date.
-
- So how S. korean can trust that no war in the future ?
-
- If somebody can prove that N. Korea is not willing to break out the war,
- then I will say that it is the time to change the military system.
-
- Anybody can predict when one can be robbed in the future?
-
- 10 year trained army is for oneday war.
-
- All the locking system is for preventing oneday thief.
-
- Try to open you house always neglecting the low possibility of get robbed.
-
- If not even one lost in your lifetime, you are lucky.
-
- If you have at least one loss, you may regret.
-
-
- Some day who knows that German will make another war, or Japan invade
- korean penninsular again.
-
-
- It is very desirable to try to trust others, but that is not everything.
-
- specially the matther is among the world contries where ther is
- no super power and God father to caml down the trouble gud.
-
- Conclusion: To be a serviceman in Korea is kind of honorable thing. They are
- sacrificing themselves by wasting their precious time in their life.
-
- Korea still need to keep strong military power to sustain N. korea from breaking
- a war. But some day korea feel safe against Japan and N. korea, then that
- is the time to change the system.
-
- Nobody like the life in military service period. Neverthless it is not the time
- to ask to change the korean military system.
