A Tour in Korea: The Case of Human Trafficking, Prostitution and Underage Drinking

Abstract

A tour in Korea can be detrimental in shaping the opinions of our Soldiers in terms of ethical and moral behavior. For the past 50 years, South Korea has demoralized and manifested a culture of illicit behavior, sexual exploitation, and outrageous "entertainment" that goes against everything the Army values stand for. The Army should heavily consider not sending first term Soldiers to Korea as a first duty station due to the many challenges that are faced within the country. A typical tour in Korea has several disadvantages ranging from human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and many cases of underage drinking. There are systems in place that tries to mitigate and combat this behavior but there is still so much to be done.
