South Korea's military is reportedly facing a crisis of leadership amid political upheaval. Former army officer Chun In-bum highlights a growing disdain for the armed forces, particularly after the controversial martial law declared by former President Yoon Suk Yeol. Following Yoon's impeachment and ongoing legal troubles, public criticism of the military has intensified. Chun argues that this criticism is misplaced, asserting that the majority of military personnel acted responsibly. He emphasizes that respect for the armed forces needs to be reinstated, pointing out the failures of both political leaders and some military commanders during the crisis.
One problem is how civilian political leaders treated the military with no respect, leading to a crisis of leadership within South Korea's armed forces.
The criticism of the armed forces is unwarranted; the majority of military personnel acted appropriately and professionally during the turmoil.
Politicians should have applauded those officers who declined to go along with the martial law declaration instead of making them look like children.
The issues with South Korea's armed forces stem from the political turmoil and lack of respect shown by political leaders toward the military.
