Several non-Communist states do, as tell - examples being the Republic of Korea, India, the United States, etc.
Many countries which maintain large military forces do so by imposing mandatory military service.
As for their reasoning, many of the states which remain Communist do so because they still perceive a Cold War-era threat. Cuba, for example, still anticipates a US invasion, while North Korea has always announced an intent to unify the peninsula, and would need a large force to accomplish this.

How were the proxy wars of east Asia different than those of the middle east and Afghanistan?
The Proxy Wars in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Afghanistan actively pitted Communist guerrillas or armies (supported by the Soviets and Chinese - Communist-bloc) against Capitalist/Fascist dictatorships (supported by the US and NATO - Capitalist-bloc). Conversely, the Proxy Wars in the Middle East did not involve Communist guerrillas, but rather the Communist-bloc stood by Arab Socialism and the Capitalist-bloc stood by Israel and convenient other allies.The other major difference is that the Proxy Wars in Southeast Asia and East Asia were, by and large, successful for the Communist-bloc, but the Proxy Wars in the Middle East were, by and large, successful for the Capitalist-bloc.
