IOE assistant research fellow Chou Hui-min, himself an Amis, describes Aborigine loyalty thus: "Being raised in the traditions of their tribes, Aborigines tend to be unpolluted by the ways of the world and obedient, so that when they're told to jump, they don't argue-they just ask 'How high?'"
「在部落傳統下，原住民心思單純，服從性高，很能符合軍隊『一個口令、一個動作』的要求。」本身是阿美族的中研院民族所助研究員周惠民，如此形容原住民的忠誠。
