Maybe the issue is compelling your citizens to join your military in the first place?
Then it seems pretty sexist to leave women out of the opportunity to effectively defend themselves in case North Korea ever attacks.
Isn't that why men say that if they want to get the same privileges they should enroll as well?
The caviat is that the mandatory service is two years long, which most Korean women don't want to waste in the military
No rational human should ever want to waste 2 years of their life learning how to kill.
That's a perfectly reasonable thing to learn whilst still technically at war with a tyrannical socialist neighbour.
This was an incredibly stupid thing to say when their only direct neighbor wants them all dead.
If the threat is that large then it should be no issue to have a standing, regular army instead of forced conscription.
There's this thing called pride... and not the type you're likely all about.
Young men die for old men's pride... close enough?
