Depressing report on Taiwan's military

Because 25k more conscioted soldiers will make a meaningful difference in an invasion by china?

It’ll make all the difference. What reputable military expert thinks you can take over without sending troops?

Also easy to say as a dual citizen that hasn’t been back for 7 years…

I was considering enlisting long before you were on here.

Dual Citizen with 僑居 Has Questions about Military Service

I know that I’m not obligated to serve unless I remain in Taiwan for 90+ days. I basically want to set an example for my Taiwanese family about service’s importance. I just have a couple of questions. Can I split the four-month stint into two two-monthers? I want to keep my U. S. government job. Do I have a choice of where to serve? I would love to work in ITRI, but I also want gun training. I have data science skills.
