According to the Taiwan "China Times News" reported on November 5th, the Taiwan Legislative Yuan Budget Center pointed out on the 4th that the Taiwanese military recruited 52,674 volunteer soldiers from 2021 to 2024, but the number of volunteers who did not serve the minimum years of active service and left the military early was as high as 12,884, accounting for 24.46% of the number of volunteer soldiers recruited during the same period. The compensation amount exceeded 895 million New Taiwan dollars, and the number of early retirees remained high. Netizens lamented that the "green camp" is always humiliating the military, so this result is not surprising.
