What do you think about 'joining the army' in Thailand?

I think most of you heard the news about Chin, a famous handsome singer who has
to join the army that he doesn't want it so he cries a lot while interview on TV.

So today i would know about your attitude about 'joining the army' in Thailand.

To be a solider is the duty for every single Thai men. Every men have to join it for our country. However everybody is different status, some are the leader of the family, some have lovers to take care and some are not ready to be soldiers. So i think the Thai government have to reorganize this organize. Personally, everybody men have to join the army. Men who have the congenital disease will do not work hard in the army. And the men who are not ready will have the time for preparing themselves.

My opinion, I disagree with the way to choose army in Thailand, because I think it's quite not fair. I don't know. LOL

I think it is like a duty for all Thai guy citizens.
But there is a lot of avoidance not to be a soldier.
And main reason why Thai guys do not want to be soldiers because the violence seen in many news.
The news are reported many death cases of Thai soldiers from joining the army.
In my opinion, If Thai government want to encourage guys to be soldier, they should eliminate the violent root in the army which in fact it is very hard to get rid of.
If there is a lot of news like this, I'm sure that majority of Thai guys do not want to join the army.

I think it is Thai men's duty.
Our country need the man who has Thai nationality to be a part of Thai army.
So if many Thai men don't join the army, what is going on when the country has a risk.

I do not oppose that it is the duty!
Seriously, did you see the news about the soldier who was killed by his boss?
To protect the country why those soldiers have to go to clean his boss's house, pour the bucket of stools, smell their friends' ass, Etc. These are to protect our country?
If the welfare of soldier is good for them, many men won't deny to join the army.
But this situation haven't happen with your family, you cannot touch.
Many soldier are threatened from their boss. Some of them were killed cruelly.
Besides this, our country is not in state of war like North Korea and South Korea.
We do not have to force a large number of men to join this.
Finally, I want to say that if there is the good welfare to protect their life,
it is not a problem to find people to join the army!

Such an in trend topic!
We have seen a lot of what is going on on facebook newsfeed discussing about this issue.
I like soldiers, the brave who protect our country.
Although I am a woman, I would rather be a soldier once.
Joining the army is so important that all men have to do for the country.
It is worth 2 years in the army that they feel very proud and appreciate to serve for the country. However, you might have heard bad news about attacking or death.
Of course, badness is everywhere. If we understand the truth, it will pass with happiness.

In my opinion, joining the army is a duty for all Thai guy citizens who are 20 years old.
As we can see there is a lot of avoidance not to be soldiers; and the reason why Thai guys citizens do not want to be soldiers because the violence as we could see from many news.
While in contrast, there are somebody who wants to join the army to have their habits.
There are both good and bad side. It depends on individual thought.

It's a duty of men to go to join Thai army.
Most of them try to avoid the army.
The first reason that people avoid it might from the system of training.
I've heard the news that Thai soldier was die because of the punishment from the trainer.

I think it's good when Thai people realize that it's a duty of men for Military service.
But most of men worry about being a part of Thailand army.
They try to avoid and don't want to apply for it.
For me, just once in my life has to join the army.
I have already passed The Reserve Officer Training Cops Program.
So, I don't need to apply for Military service.

Alright, I think that joining the army is a good opportunity to do good things for country.
Normally, it's a duty of Thai male citizens to join the selection when they are 20 years old.
The selection is to pick up red or black cards: red means you have to be a soldier and black means you don't have to.
As I have seen in social network or TV, when the selection is processing, there are lots of people especially family or a couple come to cheer up the participants.
Some who get a red card cry out because they don't want to be, but some are glad becoming soldiers.
However, there are ways to avoid joining the army such as some kinds of sickness, attending to the reserve officer training cops program, or etc.

Joining the army in Thailand is a man duty to serve our country.
But I disagree when people force them to do the thing that they don't want to.
Their willing is important.

It is the issue that stay with Thai society for long time.
In the past, joining the army is suitable for the guys in that age because many Thai guys don't do diversity work like in nowadays. When the time pass, everything is changed including our society.
Thai people do many kind of occupations. Joining the army effects to their family especially the family that has only one son.
Also the torture in army is the main reason that makes many guys don't want to join.
many people say that joining army shows how you love your land and how sacrificed you are.
But I think others occupation can also shows the love to our land, not just being in soldier.

In my opinion, all of us has a duty for country.
We should do everything we can.
Joining the army is the way to serve the country.
When we were young, people ask "what would you want to be?"
And we said "soldier'........
For now, when we have a chance we refuse.

I think it was good if the army was not okay, but if it full of the army in our country, it is very useless. I really want to know about every man have to join the army. I think it was really useless.
