Personal opinion on the exemption from military service for the Asian Games football national team

‌There is talk about revoking military service exemptions due to the interview controversy,
but honestly, everyone is aware that they are participating specifically for the exemption.
It is unfortunate to see them being treated like major criminals just because they voiced that openly.
Judging by the fact that most of the wild card players are those who still need to fulfill their military service,
it seems the primary goal of participating in this tournament is to secure the exemption.
I wonder what the point is in saying in an interview that they are "playing for the country."
If they truly want to say they are playing for the country, I think it would be more sincere if a player actually gave up their exemption and enlisted in the military..
