I am interested to know what the reaction is in Korea to Sang-Moon Bae's decision to sue & try and delay his military service. I understand he can't be a total coward or money grubber because if he was, he would become a USA citizen. He will likely end up as Korea's greatest male player once he negotiates this slippery slope.

I've only read one Korean language article about it (there are many, but I just don't read them!). That article seemed somewhat sympathetic to him, but I have no idea if that's the general view or not.

Are you a USA citizen, fanofseri? Yes I am from the United States although there are many people that would enjoy seeing California secede and fall into the ocean.

I had to read it twice as well. But i think the intent of the statement was:
IF he was a coward or money grubber ( big IF ), then the solution to his problems is to become a US citizen.
as opposed to
all US citizens = cowards and money grubbers
If the post was from Mr3putt?...... i'd assume the opposite

At his age he might as well delay until the last second. Then he needs to do two years like everybody else.

At his age he might as well delay until the last second. Then he needs to do two years like everybody else. At his age he's already older than the typical draftee in the Korean military, since most guys want to get their commitment out of the way as soon as possible and get on with their lives. He could also face NCOs and officers who are younger than him, a peculiar dilemma in Korea where age usually determines one's status in society, but the military would be the obvious exception.Kevin
