    Sooooo yes, everything you said is correct, but there’s a missing piece of context: binning the military would mean binning South Korea as we know it, so nobody (liberal or conservative) is in favor of binning it. The lines are much more murky.

      Binning a sexist conscription system is not anything close to “binning the military”

          How so?

          Beginning to conscript women as well as men does not equate to abolishing the military, or am I missing something?

            They could conscript women, but you can imagine how hard it would be for that legislation to pass.

            What? Do you want half the army shopping for new shoes to wear in the trenches while the other half has to wait for them at the shopping mall fountain?
