ABSTRACT
The paper compared three issues regarding treatment of minorities in the military service system in Korea and in the United States --- mixed-race issues, homosexuality issues and conscientious objection issues. First, regardless of race all Korean male citizens are equally treated with regards to military service enlistment. Second, homosexuality in the military service system of Korea is considered subject to two years or less of imprisonment according to Article 92-6 of the Military Penal Code. The paper proposes that at least Article 92-6 of the Military Penal Code of Korea should be revised to clarify the language and its application regarding the homosexual punishment. Third, conscientious objection exemption in the military of the United States is allowed by the Military Selective Service Act. On the other hand, in Korea conscientious objectors who refuse to join the military are imprisoned. The paper proposes that in Korea it is better to implement the conscientious objection exemption through legislation than by challenging the constitutionality of the existing law.
