An Army Coup Is Unimaginable
Yes, Korea (Republic of) is an open society in a sense. And a democratic one, too. But the fact that an army coup has been the object of their discourse between a senior writer of a monthly magazine and an army division commander is a sign that the Korean society is in a serious trouble.
The editor took a professional travel to a frontline army camp, where he has had very informative conversations with the unit commander. The visitor has, of all the subjects, broached the topic of an army coup and the commander, who wanted to remain anonymous, has given him major reasons for the inevitable frustration of any army coup attempts.
"An army coup is impossible bordering on being unimaginable," the division commander is alleged to have said. "Why is it that?" the writer cum reporter was inquisitive. "Think about all the electronic revolutions and the subsequent social changes," the commander replied.
Mouths could not be sealed. Secrets couldn't be kept. Because all the military and civilian electronic gadgets, that is, the soldiers' and civilian multi-functional mobile phones would ring the nation and would cry wolf. Curfew-free civilian activities and the traffic would cause congestions on their way to the capital which would assuredly frustrate the blitz-krieg movements of the patriotic soldiers, he opined.
