It's a sad story.



It's true that the prognosis is important if it's nowhere else, but it's also true that people are worried about not being exempted from the military even after undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumor.



Today's fact check is, "Isn't it possible to be exempt from military service even after brain surgery?" Start fact-checking.



First, I looked up the rules for the physical examination for military service. Watering is set differently depending on the location, size, and prognosis of the tumor. As long as there are no neurological problems, it is possible to even serve as a level 3 active duty soldier.



When I asked the Military Manpower Administration, they said there were more cases like men who posted posts. In fact, the team also looked through the old judgments, and there was a text saying that even if the brain tumor had been removed, the grade 4 could be applied.



In fact, the claim that the team cannot be exempted from the military even if they undergo brain tumor surgery has a possibility of serving in active duty, so I will judge it as 'half the truth'.



But, is this the end of judgment? Why did the young people sympathize with the above story?



Considering the declining population, the military has implemented a policy to expand the number of active-duty soldiers enlisted. A typical example was the relaxation of physical examination standards.



[Moon Hong-shik, Deputy Spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense: We plan to expand the target of enlistment for active duty soldiers by returning the criteria for determining active duty to the level before 2014.]



However, as the physical fitness standard is relaxed, it can be thought that the risk of military high school increases from the perspective of young people. The problem is that our society's trust in the military medical system is low.



Let me tell you a story about my military days.

When I was in second class, I suffered from severe molars.

I couldn't say that I was going out of town because I was smart, and I went on vacation and went to the hospital, but if I treated nerves and made gold teeth, I couldn't make a comeback on vacation.



In the end, he didn't get timely treatment, so he chewed his food on one side all his life in the military.



I wore gold teeth only after I was discharged from the military.

People who have served in the military say this a lot.

On the surface, it seems like a military adventure story that says that I suffered, but in the end, I think it is a story that can be sympathized with because there is a common distrust of the military medical system.



If the speed of improvement of the military medical system does not keep up with the standards for physical examination, these issues will inevitably continue.

I would like the military authorities to pay attention to the emotions of the young people behind the information rather than the truth of the information.

That way, young people will be able to enjoy their military service with peace of mind.
