standing on the head is not a kind of training.. It's just a
kind of bullying..
You don want to pay any taxes but you have to.. You don't want
to stand
on your head but you have to do if you are a Korean and have to
do military
service..
Well.. I've got a Russian friend and he also says doing military
service in
Russia is the worst nightmare you can possibly have..
I asked my Taiwanese friend the same question.. He told me that
there
was so much violence in the Taiwanese Armed Forces,
too.
The prevalent violence of the South Korean Armed Forces can be
traced
back to the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces.
<The Japanese sentry was slow in coming to attention to
salute....
A Japanes officer got out, walked up to the sentry and gave
him
three hefty slaps..... I had begun to understand that
brutalization was
part of the Japanese military system, inculcated through
regular
beatings for minor infringements..>
His Excellency Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, The Singapore Story
p. 54
Korea was Japan's collony and the Japanese Empire conscripted
many
soldiers from Korea.. When Korea was liberated, many of the
former soldiers
became soldiers of the Korean Armed Forces but they just kept
the habits they
learned from the Japanese Imperial Armed Forces..
So the brutal violence in the Korean armed forces is a kind of
the living fossil
of the violence in the Japanese Imperial Armed Forces..
yes,like the old japanese army mentality that says to beat new
tatami mats until they are comfortable.
but then why dont u just beat the crap out of the bully outside
camp?it happens in any country to prevent more problems.
the japanese soldier had many discpline problems in ww2.they
rape...they refused to do as told until their officers maimed
them with his own sword...they stole food even from supplies in
pacific from their own japanese supply ship.
their brand of military discpline is poor although they had the
samurai ego to boost their lack of vision and
organisation.
