IOE deputy director Chiang Bien explains that in the current environment, military life remains a viable option for economically disadvantaged Aborigines, but if they are to make it a career, then promotion and training systems that only take into account individual qualifications have to be put in place. Talented Aborigines are left to fight their battles in the military alone. It shouldn't be that way.
中研院民族所副所長蔣斌表示，現行環境下，對陷入經濟困境的原住民來說，從軍仍是一條可行的活路，但若要讓他們在軍中安身立命，必須落實「用人唯才」的升遷與培訓制度，不應任憑傑出的原住民在軍中孤軍奮戰而終告流失。
