My mom signed me up for the Korean army?

I'm really upset and frustrated right now. I'm 18, finishing up high school in Oregon, and my mom signed me up for the army of the Republic of Korea behind my back. She told me that I needed to straighten up or something? I'm not sure because I have decent grades. Anyways, I didn't even know it was possible, but because of the American military aid to Korea, it's possible to sign up there. My mom said she read about enlistment and thought it would be a challenge or something. I'm white, don't speak more than a little bit of Korean I picked up off Starcraft and no prior experience. I tried to get this whole thing settled at the enlistment office, but there was nothing they could do. My choices are to either go to Korea or face serious marks on my permanent record that would make it almost impossible to go to a university. What should I do?? Also, I thought my mom couldn't do this, but she did it while I was still a minor and I can't simply get out of it like the regular American army. I'm an American citizen, if that helps. The only connection my family has with Korea is that my grandpa fought in the Korean War.

    You're joking, yes?

    1.) If you're 18 years old, your mother cannot sign you up for anything without your consent, even if you are her dependent. The law deems you to be an adult and legally capable to make decisions about your life. She cannot make decisions for you anymore. You are an adult now.

    2.) Unless you are a citizen there, you cannot enlist with the armed forces of a foreign nation, including Korea. In fact, to willingly enlist in the service of a foreign nation is interpreted as renunciation of your American citizenship. If you were a dual citizen, it might be possible. But even with the American military, another person cannot enlist you even if you are a minor. That is illegal. You have to be the one to sign the contract, of your own free will and not under duress or coercion. If she really did do it and sign it with your name, that's forgery.

    3.) The story you presented sounds utterly ludicrous and any person with half a brain can see that it is a shabby attempt at trolling. Nice try, though.

    Also, cocks ;)

    You wouldn't have warfare experience. And an army recruit cannot stop the war. An army recruit is distributed in to battle on the orders of their advanced officer, regardless of whether or now not the orders make feel. Are you prepared to die? Seeing that you have to be willing to die. While you become a member of the army, the government OWNS you. Maybe you will have to be speakme to the family members that have noticeable fight. They may be able to provide you with some viewpoint on conflict.

    No problem, just conquer the Republic of Korea and become dictator for life. Then you can disband their army and return home. Shouldn't take more than a couple of days at most.

    obvious troll

    you can't expect people to believe that a mother signed her son up for the military without his knowlege or consent

    also, you can't sign up for a nation's army without applying for citizenship

    My mother is Jewish, which by some bizzare law makes me Jewish, which means I have guarenteed citizenship to Israel

    But I would still have to apply to be a citizen before I could serve
