    When I was studying in Taiwan I met at least a few students who were very thin, and they said that they were only eating enough to stay under the minimum weight requirement for conscription. Overall I didn't meet many people who seemed willing to fight the PLA, despite Kaohsiung also being a more "green" (DPP, separatist) area.

    It's a common joke among the cannon fodder conscripted serving their mandatory service that the winning move is to just surrender and join the winning team when the PLA lands.

    a group of retired Taiwanese naval officers told them to stop preparing for war

    In 2021, Kao reportedly made a YouTube video in which he called the Taiwanese military to overthrow the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leadership and surrender to China.

    Kao's group also allegedly used drones to carry out surveillance exercises over military training operations and equipment, sending their results to the Chinese government.

    Yeah it sounds like the best option, but it's not that simple. I've already been trying to surrender to China for years and they are not replying to my emails

    A normal person who isn't a demon would be /happy/ their son wouldn't have to go to war? He's mad because his son /doesn't/ get to die??????

    What's fucking wrong with those people.

    in the end, the soft serve did not serve to soften the blow to these Officers of the Treat Empire.

    farquaad-point Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

    Turns out "sacrifice your entire country, including yourselves, so your American masters can soften up their enemies while they sit back and funnel weapons to you instead of fighting themselves." is not a very compelling pitch to any but the dumbest and most coked-out of compradors.

    Is there any way that Taiwan can be reclaimed peacefully and this bozo's son can get killed?
