The Death of Imagination

The guy's family emigrated in 1992, when he was seven, so he would not have served in the S. Korean military. Friends of mine who have indicate that it was essentially boring civil service make-work. For a country that has technically been at war for over a half a century, S. Korea seems to have remarkably little militarism in its culture. Chalk it up to living under U.S. nuclear umbrella, I guess.
