Increasing Number of Korean Citizens Unwilling to Fight to Defend Their Country
Fortunately there are still plenty of people willing to fight to defend South Korea, but the trend from this survey is showing that the number of people willing to fight in decreasing:
Nearly seven out of 10 South Korean nationals are willing to fight for their country in the event of war, according to a recent poll.
Korea Times
The World Values Survey polled 1,245 South Koreans, 67.4 percent of whom expressed their willingness to fight for their country, while 32.6 percent were unwilling to take up arms to defend their homeland.
South Korea ranked 40th out of 79 countries polled between 2017 and 2021 when it comes to the percentage of the population willing to fight for their country in the event of a war, but the percentage of people who are unwilling to take up arms has been steadily increasing, compared to 6.5 percent in a 1981 survey.
You can read more at the link, but I wonder what the number would be if the people unwilling to fight did not have the option of fleeing South Korea to another country. Would they fight then?
Well, given the corruption and intransigence of Moon and the failed education and indoctrination systems in Korea, I can understand; but I cannot sympathize.
Too many people want a free ride. And often, too late, they find it on a cattle car headed to a gulag.
The demographic breakdown might be informative. I suspect people without children are much less likely to think of risking their lives for their country since they have much less invested.
with the amount of men still walking around in masks every waking second in this country I can see why it was occupied and colonized throughout history
