제대군인 중심 보훈정책 발전에 관한 연구

Abstract

A country where veterans' policies and systems are established is a country with a strong patriotism and a basic basis for running a stable state of affairs. The Republic of Korea is the only divided country in the world that has yet to engage in a truce with North Korea since the cease-fire on July 27, 1953, and the importance of these veterans policies and systems is further emphasized. Since the Korean War in 1950, the entire nation has maintained liberal democracy while seeking reconciliation and cooperation for a true future of peaceful unification, so there is currently a proud Republic of Korea. Thanks to the patriotic martyrs and veterans' families who sacrificed to protect liberal democracy. It was difficult to rebuild a country that was ruined after the Korean War. But in 2021, the country finally left the developing country and joined the ranks of advanced countries. In this process, the veterans' system and policies of the Republic of Korea have undergone many changes and developments, but include a democratization process that is distinct from other countries. In developed countries, the focus of the veterans system is on veterans who participated in the war or served in the military, but Korea includes various fields. As the number of veterans selected in this way is now gradually decreasing due to the super-aged society. It is necessary to review the veterans system and policies for sustainability. In the future, I felt that the veterans' system and policies should be developed around discharged soldiers, so I studied them. Many soldiers value honor and are loyal to the state while overcoming poor living conditions based on a strong spirit of sacrifice. On the Korean Peninsula, a geographically strategic hub, the military should continue to maintain a strong military even if it is unified. Looking at the veterans' system and policies, I hope that the veterans' system and policies will now be further developed around the discharged soldiers.
