The people of Switzerland are preparing to vote in one of their binding referendums, on whether to continue obligatory military service. The Swiss are an exception in Europe in several ways, not only because they still have conscription. Their country is militarily neutral; their army is relatively quite big; and they haven't fought an external enemy for 200 years.

Is Military Service Worth It? Taiwan Youth Asks
Taiwan's armed forces is phasing out national service, and is planning to replace conscription with an all-volunteer military system. Of concern is not just the growing military imbalance with mainland China - where President Xi Jinping refuses to rule out the use of force against separatists - but also how young Taiwanese aren't keen on military service. One Taipei graduate expresses why he thinks 4 months of national service training "isn't very useful." Also weighing in: Kuomintang legislator Jason Hsu, and Lin Yu-Fang of the National Policy Foundation.

Why South Korea Has Mandatory Military Service, According To A Former Soldier
Because of the country's unpredictable relationship with North Korea, South Korea requires all of its male citizens to serve in the military.

Korean Men Discuss Whether BTS Should Receive Military Service Exemption | STREET DEBATE
In South Korea, every Korean male over the age of 19 is required to serve in the military and the Korean government has recently stated that the members of BTS, the biggest boyband in the world, are not exempt. We hit the streets of Seoul to ask Korean men how they feel about the mandatory military service and whether BTS should be exempt. The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general South Korean population.

South Korea requires all of its male citizens to serve in the military for two years. Here's what that experience is like.
Footage courtesy of Goyang TV, 2012
Following is a transcript of the video.
The hardest part was when I and my group had to go into this gas-filled room.
My name is Gene Kim, and I served in the South Korean military for 2 years.
The law requires every male to serve the military, and it is extremely hard to get out of it. If you purposely evade the military duty, you will get jail time.
The service is mandatory mainly because our relationship with North Korea. After things got intensified after the Korean War, there was a need for an active force for the South Koreans, so the military can always be ready.
I served the Korea military between the years of 2009 and 2011. Before the military, I was living in New York. I decided to go because I had to get it over with it at some point.
At the time I did my military service, I hated it.I just hated every moment being in there, trapped in that isolated society. And I just waited for my time to pass.
I haven't seen a single person who really wanted to be there, who was enthusiastic to be there. People generally want to avoid the military because, I think, of the forcefulness of it. Compared to the US, where the military is voluntary, and you can pursue it as a career, in Korea, 2 years of service is mandatory, and everyone is forced to do it.
You're living your free life and then suddenly isolated from the rest of the society. You have no contact. You can’t fill your cell-phone addiction there. And you're basically sacrificing 2 years of your youth for the nation.
So, on the first day when you enter the military. As soon as you enter this training base, you meet these instructors that train you for 5 weeks on from there. They intentionally try to intimidate you, try to scare you, in order to make you into a soldier.
This 5 weeks of training was one of the most intense experiences I had. You’re not even a private at this moment. You are a trainee. The training is very intense. You are yelled at constantly. You don't have a voice there. You can only do what you're told to do and nothing else.
You learn to move very fast. When you’re ordered something, you have to run to get it, you have to run to do it. And if you hesitate, you get picked on for that. If you get around 5 minutes of rest, then you're happy with that. You re-learn things that you thought you already knew. There's a certain way to eat. There's a certain way to stand. There’s a certain way to talk to people. There's a certain way to do everything in the military.
One of the most memorable trainings that I did was this training called "화생방 훈련." Which is to prepare soldiers to defend against a chemical attack. The hardest part was when I and my group had to go into this gas-filled room.
And you enter the room with your gas mask on, and there's also an instructor there with a gas mask on. He eventually orders you to put off the gas mask. And when you're exposed to this gas it doesn't have long-term effects on you, but anywhere that's exposed would hurt like hell. It feels like a thousand needles just pinching on to you and grabbing onto you.
And when you inhale this gas, it feels like you're suffocating. Basically, you can’t breathe. It's just chaos in that tiny room. Everyone’s grabbing onto each other. Everyone’s rolling on the floor. There was this one guy. He ran to the door trying to get out, but there was a guard there who prevented that. And it was total chaos.
After your 5 weeks of training, you’re relocated to your battalion. So, this is your home from now on. You would stay there for your private to sergeant life. From day one to the end of your service, you hear a lot about North Korea from the officials.
They designate the North Korean military as our enemy. This was the first time when I learned that North Korea has invaded South Korea even after the truce multiple times.
I don't know if it's because I've been brainwashed, but now I'm convinced that they have the capability and will to do a lot of damage to the Korean Society. There's always a potential that the North Koreans can Invade us and the military's trying to prepare for that.
Looking back at the experience, I think I gained a few things. There's a saying in the military, "If you can't make it work, make it work." I learned that if you really put your will and just do it, then I can really achieve...I feel like I can achieve anything.

The people of Switzerland are preparing to vote in one of their binding referendums, on whether to continue obligatory military service. The Swiss are an exception in Europe in several ways, not only because they still have conscription. Their country is militarily neutral; their army is relatively quite big; and they haven't fought an external enemy for 200 years.
They spend six percent of their national budget on it; they have 150,000 men and women under arms - of their own choice, that's voluntary; and the armed forces are the size of Austria's, Belgium's, Norway's Finland's and Sweden' combined.
But there's a battle on over the law that says men 18-34 all have to serve. Still, according to a recent poll, some two thirds of Swiss surveyed wanted to keep it this way, and roughly one third to scrap it. President Ueli Maurer, who is also minister of defence, offers some supporting arguments.
He said making it all voluntary would be more expensive and less competent. "It would certainly not guarantee our security, because we wouldn't know how many volunteers would apply for military service. We need the fulfilment of this to be obligatory."
Only a small handful of today's European Union member states, plus Switzerland and Norway still require their citizens to serve. On the contrary, most have done away with it: Britain in 1960, France in 1997, Germany in 2011, for instance. The Swiss vote on whether to do this is this Sunday.
The pacifist group GSOA first organised one of these Swiss direct democracy referendums to lose the army altogether, in 1989. It failed. Then a vote to replace it with a peace corps was overwhelmingly defeated shortly after the 2001 terrorist attacks in the US. GSOA insists the system abuses the principle of equality - in terms of disrupted lives.
The group's Josef Lang added: "If traditions are outdated and costly, abolish them."
Multinational firms are not happy to see local staff leaving inconveniently. On the other hand, the armed forces stress what a character-building and discipline experience service provides. And former officers now in high finance and insurance and so on say the military is better preparation for competition than any modern business school.

Taiwan's armed forces is phasing out national service, and is planning to replace conscription with an all-volunteer military system. Of concern is not just the growing military imbalance with mainland China - where President Xi Jinping refuses to rule out the use of force against separatists - but also how young Taiwanese aren't keen on military service. One Taipei graduate expresses why he thinks 4 months of national service training "isn't very useful." Also weighing in: Kuomintang legislator Jason Hsu, and Lin Yu-Fang of the National Policy Foundation.

Because of the country's unpredictable relationship with North Korea, South Korea requires all of its male citizens to serve in the military. The servicemen are required to live in complete isolation and undergo intense training. Gene Kim, who served his military service from 2009 to 2011, recounts some of his experiences.
Voices of Color explores the issues that matter to minority groups and communities through politics, education, entertainment, and all other aspects of culture.
