<p>^Thank you.</p>
<p>It’s funny you should bring up relativism, because you keep forgetting to consider Korea’s own unique situation and the system needed to match it. Sure history might have favored the volunteer system for some countries. So what? How can you even begin to compare America and Korea when the size gap between the two countries, to begin with, is so great?</p>
<p>Anyway, this isn’t about whether Korea should have a draft system or not. This is about you going on about a subject in an egoistical manner that has shown no respect for another country and its citizens. It doesn’t matter how Korean you are, if you haven’t lived there for an extended period of time, then you have no right to go on and generalize about it. And your claims about Korea’s “poor” education system (which, having first hand experience, I can beg to differ- nobody receives tudoring because the country is poor) etc. show just how little you know about Korea. We are far, far from a perfect country. But don’t act like Korea has problems that America, or many other “first world” countries, does not.</p>
<p>You may be irritated that you need to go serve in the military- whatever. And if you don’t, then great, you have nothing to complain about. But the least you can do is show the slightest bit of respect for Koreans who are here. Opinions aren’t split into a dichotomy of agreement vs insult. You don’t have to like Korea, but please keep your thoughts to yourself when your language and empty slurs are clearly going to offend people, especially when you make assumptions without sufficient knowledge to back them up.</p>
<p>Now drop it.</p>
