Demobilized To be fair, the three military drama troupes held many morale-boosting public performances and competitions over the years, which soothed the homesickness of those mainland officers and soldiers who moved to Taiwan early on. They have served overseas to promote Chinese culture, and they have helped prevent the disappearance of the Peking dramatic arts. The problem is that art and the military simply make peculiar bedfellows.
平心而論，多年來三軍劇隊在輪番勞軍、公演、競賽中，曾經撫慰了早年來台官兵的思鄉之情，也對外做了不少文化宣傳，維護京劇藝術於台灣而不墜；只是這藝術與軍事之間終究不是最佳拍檔。
