Understandable. What might be good for the proficiency of your military is not necessarily what is good for the day to day life (or lives of ) your soldiers, and also not necessarily what is good for the country.

That is why I suggested as a volunteer operation only, especially keeping in mind the state of military conscription in SK.

Whether voluntary or not, foreign deployment is inherently political. Anyone can identify the significance of it, which is that we're easily coerced into fighting europe's war which europe has no interest in spilling blood. Downright disrespectful and an easy rejection.

The lack of depth of European involvement really rings true and is a totally different (and more meaningful) frame than the one I came in on (nk/SK).

I can definitely see how that would really look like a shit sandwich from a SK perspective.

I was looking at it as more a way to capture and conserve martial proficiency, but you are obviously right on with the political nature, as well as the optics and narrative that would likely become the defining aspect of this kind of involvement.
