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.
