The Lasting Regret: DMZ

How many people remember called “the forgotten Korea War”? The Korea War developed on June 25^th, 1950 and lasted for three years until the cease fire was initiated on 1953, and then the DMZ was formed by the Military Armistice Agreement to secure each side.

When the Korea was liberated by America right after the Pacific War the country was divided into north and south because of the territorial disputes between USA and Soviet.

I joined the army when I was a freshman of the college to finish the mandatory military service because I wanted to study medicine in America. When I finished the military training I was sent to the front line to protect our country from the enemy. While serving my military obligation I had experienced with many enemy attacks. Here’s the part of military services in the DMZ and tells how we have fought against the enemy.

The North sent many soldiers to infiltrate the South and disturbed our solders’ moral and spiritual performances, but we had overcome the enemy’s military and mental challenges and then sealed our territories intact.

There were few young soldiers fell into the mental disorders due to persistent DMZ guarding day and night. Furthermore, the North Korean enemy constantly propagandized through the loud speaker to seduce and distract our soldiers’ military duties.

It is a painful country separation since our independence and the birth of the DMZ will be the lasting regret to Korean people many years to come. The South Korea is under constant threats and intimidations by the North Korea from developing nuclear weapon. 

As long as the DMZ exists there will be no peace in Korea, and most of all, USA and Soviet are responsible to reunify the country into one nation.
