Marxism requires us to analyze and view problems from a developmental perspective. Many people's concept of history still lingers in 1950, but little do they know that in 1950, South Korea's per capita GDP was lower than China, and now it is three times that of China. Time has passed, and now South Korea's conventional military power is stronger than Russia, Britain, and France. If ranked by its current conventional military power, it should be the United States, China, South Korea, Japan, France, Britain, India, and Russia. South Korea's actual military strength has ranked third in the world and has reached a level close to second.
马克思主义要求我们要用发展的眼光分析看待问题。许多人的历史观念还停留在1950年，殊不知1950年的时候，韩国的人均gdp比中国还低，现在已经是中国3倍了。时过境迁，现在韩国的常规军事力量力压俄英法，如果以目前常规军事力量排名，应该是美、中、韩、日、法、英、印、俄。韩国的实际军事实力已经排名世界第三，并且已经达到接近第二的水准。
After the 1980s, the military strength of South Korea had long been disproportionate, with South Korea completely overwhelming North Korea with its rapidly advancing modern military equipment. If there is war between the two Koreas now, without receiving foreign aid, the South Korea can use its overwhelming Air supremacy to destroy everything, conquer Pyongyang within 24 hours, and force the North Korea to surrender.
在20世纪80年代以后，韩朝的军事实力早就不成比例，韩国以突飞猛进的现代化军事装备，完全力压北朝鲜。如果现在朝韩开战，在不接受外国援助的情况下，韩国可以以压倒性的制空权摧枯拉朽，在24小时之内攻克平壤，逼迫朝鲜投降。
South Korea's Arms industry started late but developed rapidly. In the early and mid-1990s, South Korea was already able to produce most of its own weapons and equipment, and since the late 1990s, it has been able to develop and produce some high-precision advanced weapons. At present, South Korea's Arms industry has developed into a state of keeping pace with other economic powers, and is a leader in the global arms market.
韩国国防工业起步较晚但发展迅猛。20世纪90年代前中期，韩国已经能够自己生产大部分武器装备，从90年代末开始能开发和生产部分高精度的先进武器。目前，韩国国防工业已经发展成为与其它经济强国并驾齐驱的境界，是全球军售市场的佼佼者。
The Agency for Defense Development, established in 1970, is the largest and most important national defense research institution in South Korea, and is known as the "incubator" of South Korea's domestic advanced weapons and equipment. Through the Agency for Defense Development, South Korea has successively realized the localization of more than 400 kinds of combat and logistics equipment. At present, apart from some high-performance fighter jets and some high-tech components that need to be imported, the vast majority of weapons and equipment in South Korea have already achieved localization, and some weapons and equipment are exported to the international market.
1970年成立的国防科学研究所是韩国最大也是最重要的国防科研机构，被誉为韩国国产先进武器装备的“孵化器”。通过国防科学研究所，韩国已经先后实现了400多种作战、后勤装备的国产化。目前，韩国除部分高性能战斗机和部分高科技部件需要进口外，绝大多数的武器装备都已实现了国产化，部分武器装备出口国际市场。
There are 495000 active servicemen in the Republic of Korea Army, which is composed of 2 field armies, 1 combat headquarters, 12 armies, 3 Mechanized infantry divisions, 19 infantry divisions, 2 independent infantry brigades, 3 reverse osmosis brigades and 7 Special operations brigades. With more than 2000 tanks, 1700 M109 Self-propelled artillery and K9 thunder self-propelled Howitzer, 680 helicopters and unmanned aircraft, the Republic of Korea Army is a light and motorized army force.
韩国陆军现役军人有49.5万人，编为2个野战军、1个作战司令部、12个军、3个机械化步兵师、19个步兵师、2个独立步兵旅、3个反渗透旅和7个特种作战旅。韩国陆军装备有2000余辆坦克，1700门M109自行火炮和K9雷声自行式榴弹炮，680架各式直升机和无人驾驶飞机，是支轻型化、机动化的陆军部队。
The Republic of Korea Navy has 69000 active servicemen. At present, the Republic of Korea Navy has deployed Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin-class destroyer, ROKS Dokdo, 214 type submarine Air-independent propulsion and Sejong the Great-class destroyer. The Sejong the Great-class destroyer is equipped with an advanced digital Aegis combat system, which can track and destroy multiple shipborne and ballistic missiles at the same time. It is an important part of the Korean missile defense umbrella.
韩国海军现役军人有6.9万人。韩国海军目前部署有忠武公李舜臣级驱逐舰、独岛号两栖攻击舰、不依赖空气推进的214型潜艇和世宗大王级驱逐舰。世宗大王级驱逐舰配备有先进的数字化宙斯盾战斗系统，可以同时追踪、摧毁多个舰载和弹道导弹，是韩国导弹防御伞的重要组成部分。
韩国空军于20世纪末，韩国《战略空军建设发展规划》提出“战略空军”的构想，建设一支以新一代战斗机、预警机、空中加油机、运输机、远程雷达、侦察机卫星为主要手段及空天一体化的“航空航天军”。韩国空军部署有各种飞机1360架，包括先进的F-15、F-16、F35战斗机和韩国本土以T-50超音速教练机为基础研制的FA-50轻型超音速攻击机，以及KFX战斗机。一些维护良好的老式F-4鬼怪II战斗机和F-5自由斗士战斗机也仍然在服役。韩国空军还部署有4架波音737-AEW&C预警机，用于提高韩国战机的精准度。
At the end of the 20th century, the Republic of Korea Air Force put forward the concept of "strategic air force" in its "Strategic Air Force Construction and Development Plan" to build an "aerospace force" with new generation fighters, early warning aircraft, Aerial refueling aircraft, transport aircraft, long-range radars, reconnaissance aircraft and satellites as the main means and air space integration. The Republic of Korea Air Force has deployed 1360 various aircraft, including advanced F-15, F-16 and F35 fighter planes, FA-50 light supersonic Attack aircraft based on T-50 supersonic Trainer aircraft, and KFX fighter planes. Some well maintained old F-4 Ghost II fighter jets and F-5 Freedom Fighter fighter jets are still in service. The Republic of Korea Air Force also deployed four Boeing 737-AEW&C early warning aircraft to improve the accuracy of Korean fighters.
韩国预备军是韩国的一支预备役军事部队，约有450万人的后备军人所组成。又可分为动员预备军和乡土预备军。预备军的组成人员为韩国国军服役期满2年至8年者。
South Korea is one of the few developed countries in the world that still implement compulsory military service. The Korean Constitution stipulates that "all citizens of South Korea have an obligation to serve in the military", and all males who meet the physical fitness requirements are required to serve in the military for approximately 20 months between the ages of 18 and 28.
韩国是世界上少数几个仍在实行义务兵役制的发达国家之一。《韩国宪法》规定“韩国所有公民都有义务服兵役”，所有身体素质符合条件的男性需要在18至28岁之间进入军队服役约20个月。
Conscription in South Korea is very strict. Evading military service will be severely punished. The proportion of Korean men serving in the military is the highest in the world. According to the requirements of the military service system, Korean men who have reached the age of 18 will be enrolled in the first national service on January 1 of the year, and those who have reached the age of 19 will be required to undergo physical examination at the place designated by the Military Manpower Administration. The military medical examination is divided into 7 levels: Level 1-4 is qualified and can serve in active service and various supplementary services; Levels 5-7 are considered unqualified and require enlistment in the second national service, exemption from military service, or re examination.
韩国兵役制度非常严格，逃避兵役会遭到严惩，韩国男性服役比例在全世界是最高的。根据兵役制的要求，韩国男性满18岁当年的1月1日即被编入第1国民役，年满19岁需要在兵务厅制定场所接受体检。兵役体检情况分为7个等级：1-4级为合格，可服现役和各种补充役；5-7级为不合格，需编入第2国民役、免除兵役或再次接受体检。
Eligible men will be notified of enlistment by the Military Manpower Administration when they reach the age of 20, but they can postpone enlistment if they are students in school. Soldiers who have completed active and supplementary service must serve in the reserve for 8 years after transitioning to other professions, and then transfer to the Civil Defense Guard until they reach the age of 40 to fulfill all their obligations.
符合条件的男性在年满20岁的当年会受到兵务厅的入伍通知，但如果是在校学生则可以延后入伍。服完现役和补充役的士兵转业后还要在预备役服役8年，然后转入民防卫队，直到40岁才算尽完所有义务。
可我想韩国背靠美国有什么好吹的？
在美国对全球的战略定位里，韩国的地位非常特殊，可以说独一无二，相互之间都非常需要。
韩国需要美国，没有美国就没有韩国的一切，而且北方邻居和东边世仇随时准备接手他，西边大国对他的产业构成全面竞争，韩国需要美国保护自己的安全和经济，需要美国支持来维持在中日两个大国面前的产业竞争力。
美国同样需要韩国，首先，朝鲜半岛是世界上最危险，火力密度最高的地方没有之一，能全民皆兵部署百万陆军和几千辆坦克，几百门火炮抗衡朝鲜的小弟只有韩国，没别人。
其次，韩国工业体系是美国一手扶持建立与战前就实现了工业化的日本和靠自己独主建立全工业体系的中国相比，韩国是完全由美国培养工业的，所以韩国工业体系虽然覆盖面狭窄，但诸如半导体汽车造船通信化工钢铁等有限几个看家产业与中日两国高度重叠，这是美国刻意安排的，专门用来狙击日本产业，在广场协议后由旁边的韩国来承接日本外流的人才防止流入中国，同时利用韩国这种美国一手缔造的举国体制上下游垂直整合产业链来遏制中国的产业升级，一石二鸟。
什么时候你成为一个有主权的独立国家再说吧！
