Most Korean men have a duty for military service for 21 months because our country is still under suspension of fire with North Korea. Considering those situation, some people maintain that conscription has to be no exception for woman because this conscription is not only necessary and obligatory but also for both equality and balance. However, in my opinion, women’ works are not suitable and efficient in the military. I have three reasons to support it. First of all, women are physically weaker than men. In the army, most of weapons and equipments are hard to handle for women because those things consist of heavy steels. In my case, even if I worked as a gunner for 2 years, I have never seen a woman gunner. Accordingly, most women will get in trouble in the army because general soldiers should be enough strong to handle those arms and ammunition. Even though they can overcome these disadvantages a little through hard training, they will have a limit as to what they can do comparing men as time pass by. In addition, women have to bear child and look after. If real war breaks out, women who have a baby cannot use their ability well. The reason is bearing a baby demands woman to use a lot of energy. As a result, efficiency of war strategy will be reduced and it has more possibilities to lose in the war. Another key point is that women’s mentality can make rules of army confusing. Generally, men and women psychologically have different mentality. Men tends to adapt themselves in new environment such as a social rank, on the other hand, women cannot easily agree this rank. Because these social ranks make soldiers become fast and efficient, women who used to abolish this rank are not suitable in military. Moreover, if many women join in the military service, men who have to concentrate on their training might lose their goals and even commit sexual violence. In these days, this problem is on the rise. To summarize, even though it might be discrimination between women and men, because the army deal with urgent emergency which need strong health and high efficiency, men are more suitable than women. |
