The pre-WCS interview says "I'm planning to go to the military in 2015 or 2016."

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=434388

So yeah, this seems to contradict that interview, unless there was a mistranslation somewhere.

It's a bit less silly when you've got Kim Jong Un for a neighbour.

Indeed ! This could be, since it is Red bull's article (i.e. and not Startale's). Interesting ! I'd love that he postpone that until 2015 !

This is not confirmed, so don't be sad... yet.

Direct quote from the man himself.
I hope that a lot of fans come to Blizzcon and cheer at the games. Now that we're getting to the end of the year, I want to get a good result and return home to Korea triumphant. I'm planning to go to the military in 2015 or 2016, so I don't have much time left as a pro-gamer. Because of that, I think that I'm approaching my tournaments differently to other players. My goal is to finish this year with a win, and then make at least Top 8 at the global finals next year. I think that you'll see me at a lot of foreign tournaments next year.

Conscript armies are an anachronism in an era where cruise missiles, predator drones, and satellite guided munitions dominate the battlefield. And as far as infantry goes, professional career soldiers are likely worth 10 times their number of amatuers. Why does South Korea even bother with a draft?

Because SK fears relying on its professional army might not be enough in case of a conflict ? :/

I would not judge their military policies, as I reaaaaaally wouldn't pretend to know what it is to be in that kind of situation with an openly hostile country right at your door.

That's a nice thing to say for a country with the budget of the US and not the world's largest army (by soldiers) at your borders.

But I guess we have to wait a bit until the dust settles.

btw: wintex are you prepared for your 2 year distant relationship?

I dont share your opinion. I believe it should be reintroduced where I live. Anyway I wish Bomber good luck and hope he will be in shape when he returns.
