79% of Korean teens would serve in time of crisis
Four out of every five Korean teenagers are willing to help out their country, should their country be struck with a crisis, according to a new survey.
Seems about the right number. I think that if the same question were asked of US teens, the results would be similar.
The Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs polled 4,000 teenagers on Memorial Day and found that almost 79 percent are willing to take part in services to rescue their country out a crisis. The survey also showed 69 percent of the respondents believed there is a possibility of war on the peninsula, and nearly 77 percent answered they are proud to be Korean. When asked which country they feel most familiar with, North Korea topped the list with 26 percent followed by the U.S., Japan, and China.
Time to let them stand on their own two feet.
