Matalaq Danubak, chairman of the Taiwan Indigenous Teachers Association and a teacher at Kaohsiung County's Keliao Junior High School, has noticed over the years that many youths in Aboriginal villages have started to debate the idea of volunteering for the military, because if they do join up, they might be "laid off" (subjected to compulsory discharge).
台灣原住民基層教師協會理事長、高雄縣蚵寮國中教師瑪達拉．達努巴克長期觀察發現，近年不少部落學生對志願從軍充滿疑慮，擔心即使進入部隊，未來恐怕也將遭致被「裁員」（強制退伍）的下場。
