Korean Conflict "Isn't Starcraft", Says South Korean Defense Minister

Starcraft Comparison Used In South Korean Hearings To Underscore Seriousness Of Situation

After South Korea’s defensive answer to the North Korean shelling of an island that saw four dead, two civilians and two marines, was delayed by thirteen minutes and didn’t actually hit anything, the South Korean Defense Minister Kim Tae-young received some queries from concerned politicians on, you know, why that is. What they received in return was the Korean equivalent of the standard “War ain’t a game, boy” cliche line of warriors being questioned by pansy-ass politicians in any war movie ever: “This isn’t Starcraft”.

To those of you who don’t keep up with Korean sports news or, indeed, Korean Starcraft news (or how about Korean Facebook news?) the fact that the two are practically one and the same over there should come as a mildly interesting fact. Yes, according to Kotaku the nationwide Starcraft fetish even gets as bad as Korean soap operas comparing stuff to Starcraft. The Defense Minister has now stepped down and taken full responsibility for what happened.

      Pretty sure North Korea = China in the different names of one country, or a military branch & a lapdog.

      Pretty sure you don’t know anything and should keep your moronic opinions to yourself when you next feel like generalising two totally different countries and races of people.
