It is mandatory for Koreans to join the army... well if they can. In Germany you can go to the military or work for civilian/community service for the time.
Anyway, since it is mandatory I don't understand how it affects the youth in joining the army... they have to anyway...
I'm glad that it's possible for us germans to chose what you want to do.
In my eyes it would be great if it was the same in other countries.

I don't think there's anything wrong with advertising the military. It's not like they're misrepresenting what the military is about.. it's not "come join the air force, we'll let you fly a battlecruiser and kill zerg" while hundreds of deluded young men sign up only to get sent to the front lines.
They're just saying that "look, we have interests besides killing people". Nothing wrong with that.

the military is a big part of korean culture, it is mandatory and its not seen as a bad thing.. ACEwas made to make ESPORTS bigger not the other way around. so yeah its just a game dont take it so seriously. I belive that Cholera could talk and entertain you how much more epic Park Jung Suk is because of ACE. you should check his VODs.

Military service in SK is mandatory so I dunno what OP is rambling about tbh
They take pride in their country and in their military. Just because you guys have a tainted history it doesn't mean SK does. They have a different perspective on things, is all.

Well wasn't South Korea a fairly nasty dictatorship until the late 1980s? Regular military coups, secret police torture, and the odd massacre of civilians by the soldiery? That's quite tainted, as history goes.

But still - how great would it have been if Boxer said sth like "I know I have to do my duty but I don't want to play broodwar for merchandising the military"
Boxer would never say that because he is proud of doing it. I would assume absolute majority of Koreans that served in the military never regretted it.

I think he was referring to the fact that SK never attempted to take over their continent, but yes, you're correct in saying that it was a military dictatorship until fairly recently..

Good thing you can speak for everybody.
My intention for this thread was to see if this is an issue for anyone else.

Pretty sure I saw more shit during my civil service than any soldier in the world. (just kidding, I know you're speaking metaphorically)

Not realizing that conscription is law in Korea severely derails your post.
Feel free to make a general thread about military service and advertising about it tho =o
