The Sixth Army Corps of the Army confirmed in the middle of this month that a female lieutenant surnamed Wang from the 206th Infantry Brigade of its infantry brigade fell to her death two months ago. The whole case was transferred to the investigation and investigation office, emphasizing "no concealment, no shielding" and "zero tolerance" for workplace bullying, which attracted attention from the outside world. However, this newspaper received revelations that the female officer suffered from maladaptation when she first joined the army. She did not improve after several transfers, seeking help and medical treatment. There was even a strange situation where personal medication was kept by "non-direct superiors", criticizing whether the national military's psychological support system is the same.
The brother of the female lieutenant surnamed Wang pointed out that his sister graduated from Pingtung University Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Class 114. After completing the officer class of the Infantry Section of the Army Academy in April this year, she was assigned to the 2nd Infantry Company of the 1st Battalion of the 206th Infantry Brigade of the Sixth Army. As a grassroots platoon leader, Lieutenant Wang originally chose to serve in the new training center in the hope of cultivating his leadership skills. Unexpectedly, under the guidance of the Ministry of National Defense's policy, the new training infantry brigade not only had to receive training calls, but also went to base. He bluntly said that this was something his sister "unexpectedly" did.
He went on to say that his sister was on duty in the first week after arriving at the brigade because she didn’t know anyone and thought her performance was “terrible.” After leaving the base with the company in July, she was on duty for two weeks in August in response to the teaching mission plan. She told the brigade headquarters that she was not qualified for the position of platoon leader, and the brigade The ministry subsequently transferred her to a clerical position; and she also went to the doctor for the first time at the end of July and was diagnosed with anxiety adjustment disorder. She took 24 anti-anxiety drugs. However, he questioned, why did her "non-direct superior" keep the drugs for her on the grounds that they had side effects?
Lieutenant Wang's brother further revealed that in July, her sister revealed her wish to be transferred from the 206th Brigade and made three appeals to the legislators. Before falling at the end of September, she expressed her inability to be a clerical officer to the brigade staff director, and was approved to be transferred to the company-level platoon leader of his battalion. However, on the night of the fall, because there was a secret document to be filed, my sister contacted the former clerk at about 9 p.m. After talking on the phone for 8 minutes and 5 seconds, she walked up to the top floor at about 11 p.m. and committed suicide.
He bitterly stated that after his sister left, he received many contacts from family members who were also ROTC officers, and he was shocked to realize that the Ministry of National Defense had "completely failed to announce the number of suicides and self-inflicted injuries" in the university reserve officer corps. The military also did not further assist these maladaptants, and called on the national military to come up with solutions to the problem. As for the senior officials who assisted after the incident, he bluntly said that many people were "exhausted" under the drastic changes in national defense policy. He criticized the Ministry of National Defense for only rushing forward without considering the feelings of the grassroots. "No wonder the army never recruits enough people."
Lieutenant Wang's brother lamented that the military has resumed one-year compulsory service, but if the army is still like the 206th Brigade, which "did everything but accomplished nothing," he has deep doubts about such a national army. He also urged that the national army should truly implement the psychological assistance system and allow leading cadres to truly recognize physical and mental symptoms. In this case, "my sister's death will not be in vain!"
