I've said it before I'll say it again if anything Taiwan needs to look at South Korea with how to make sure their military readiness is prepared because Taiwan has an issue in trying to recruit career soldiers Most people in Taiwan HATE the idea of career soldering and they only go through the mandatory 6 months of conscription period and they they never touch a pistol or rifle again in their lives and persue a civilian career Taiwan has mandatory conscription but that conscription period last for only 6 months Taiwan should make that at a minimum one year but in my personal opinion I'd make it 2 years because you cannot train everybody in logistics and weapons and procedures in 6 months and expect them to retain it all and then use it in the event of the national emergency

@deanzaZZR which is why I say again if Taiwan wants to keep itself afloat it needs to increase it's ability to retain the career soldiers it has and increase it's ability to gain more

@dezmoto yes that would work to learn how to use a rifle sure and that might work for a militia maybe but it not enough to get them to use the more sophisticated equipment such as artillery guns, diesel powered submarines, and top of the line communications equipment Taiwan really needs to offer some kind of incentives to get volunteers to sign on as careers soldiers, or they need to force a temporary career soldier into their ranks for far longer than 6 months And I say if they want to go the 2nd option of conscription make it at a minimum of 2 years
