Defense Minister Chung Gyeong-du said in a question about the government held at the National Assembly on the 15th: “If there is a soldier who extended sick leave (like Mr. Seo Mo, son of Minister Chu Mi -ae), the commander was not considered. ” However, when inquiring about the extension of the sick leave and the case of another soldier who said that the extension of the sick leave was not possible like Seo, he said: “I think it is the correct procedure to do like that friend. “. When Minister Jung addressed ‘private soldiers saviors’, his words were twisted.

Representative Ha Tae-kyung, the people’s power, said in a question to the government that day: “In Korea, a fight is taking place between David and Goliath. The private who exposed the preferences of the son of Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae is David in our time, “he said. Representative Ha said: “Goliath’s son took a vacation to his heart’s content with the party’s mother, her assistants and even the assistant to the defense minister.” .

Congressman Ha said: “But our soldiers are not weak. The request of the Giant Goliath was blocked by the soldiers. One commander said that he could not remain silent when he saw the declaration of conscience from the soldiers on duty. I bring this position to the true soldiers and express my deep gratitude and respect as a representative of the people. He said: “But shamefully, the Defense Ministry poured cold water on these real soldiers,” he said. “(In the passport), they terrorize by revealing their real names and taking coordinates.” I will propose a law to unconditionally punish a criminal, not a fine if requested with the provisional name ‘Law of Prevention of the Son of the Minister of Chu’ and military personnel”.

Congressman Ha later called Minister Chung Gyeong-du. He said: “On the 9th, the Ministry of Defense announced: ‘You can extend your vacation by calling the unit ① You can get sick leave on the 19th if you only get 4 days of hospital treatment ③ You can get sick even if you don’t get a medical examination ‘. The camp and the soldiers’ parents were very angry ”. At the same time, he cited the case and said: “In a situation similar to Mr. Seo, there are reports that we did not receive preferential treatment.”

Congressman Ha said: “I asked by phone to extend sick leave and they told me to come back. Private Suh’s sick leave was extended by phone, but the soldier was told to join the army. If the extension of Seo’s private vacation were handled normally, would this soldier be at a disadvantage? Minister Chung said: “The regulations and directives currently applied by the Defense Ministry are not regulations that apply to any specific soldier, but rather rules and directives that are commonly applied to all soldiers.” Assemblyman Ha said, “This friend told me to come from the unit because he wanted to extend sick leave due to a torn cruciate ligament. When asked again, “Isn’t it obvious discrimination and disadvantage?” Minister Park said, “If there is such a case (assuming there is such a case, the commander should have been more considerate).

Congressman Ha gave another case. Congressman Ha said: “This friend (who has been injured) received sick leave for only four days. Private Seo was treated on the 4th and received sick leave on the 19th. “Is this friend discriminated against?” However, Minister Chung’s response was different than before. “I think it is the correct procedure to do like that friend.” “In fact, there is no identifiable data left, so I can’t tell you, but if necessary, they can verify why there is no data left in the prosecution’s investigation.” Congressman Ha said, “Thank you for your honest response. So isn’t it correct that a private person was given preferential treatment? “Said the minister,” so, because the private person diagnosed and hospitalized the treatment records, medical records, medical bills, documents, etc., we had to verify, but we could not confirm that part. ” He said that Private Seo did not receive preferential treatment, but replied that he did receive preferential treatment.

However, Minister Chung changed his words again. When Congressman Ha asked, “Is this friend also discriminated against compared to private soldiers?” . When Congressman Ha requested an extension of sick leave and received another report that he had to undergo a medical examination, as an example, Minister Chung said, “The commander should have correctly understood the situation and taken action.” He said it was legal for Private Seo to skip the medical treatment exam that must be required according to Army regulations and received an extended vacation, and the commanders who took legal action for other wounded soldiers to undergo a medical exam were wrong. .
