		<description><![CDATA[Nah, I totally understand where he&#039;s coming from. As I&#039;m currently serving my country.

It&#039;s completely not what I&#039;ve expected. I thought I would learn to how be an actual soldier. But the work that me and other conscripts and even volunteers are doing just  are fucking errands, cleaning and other worthless shits... Nothing about proctecting the country itself but to please those top dogs in the military.

I understand what you get depends how lucky are when you&#039;re drafting. At first I picked paratroopers. But I got rejected last minute due to the fact I lived in Vietnam (a communist country)for 10 years. I wanted to learn and experience an actual military training and lifestyle.

When they want us to train and exercise is when inspectors are coming, hence whatever &quot;soldier&quot; work we are doing are just a fucking show for those dogs. Conscripts literally treated like shit depends where you drafted to. Shit fucking pay as 6k NTD per month. Punishment is easily comes with cutting off your holiday. What I and others have to endure is mental stress instead of physical. 

If any of you can read and understand Mandarin. You should really check what compulsory service is like in Taiwan... Sacrifised a lot of things just to fucking get rid of this issue when I was in Australia attending my university. I lost my University, relationship, time, job and etc.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I understand the hardships of military service. I myself served in the army for 24 months. As much as I personally detested it, I believed and still believe it is necessary, as somebody has to defend the country from foreign aggression(especially so when your neighbor is armed with nuclear weapons and regularly threatens to turn your capital into a sea of flames). Taiwan&#039;s relationship with China is much better than how it used to be when Chiang and Mao were around, but China still hasn&#039;t ruled out using force against Taiwan should the latter declare independence. Taiwan is still threatened and needs a credible defense force. From that aspect, the military service in Taiwan should be preserved. I feel sorry for the young man who can&#039;t fit in the army though.]]></description>
