South Koreans have mandatory military service for men over 18. It’s likely Cho learned his stuff there.

South Korea, what a great ally she is.

He’s 23 and has been here since 1992. When did he get his training?

You seem to be suggesting that South Korea itself is somehow at fault for this guy's spin-out. Where do guys like you come from?

He moved to the U.S. when he was 8.

Weren't there large anti-American demonstrations in Korea after a US military truck accidentally killed two? This was mentioned on another thread.

I have seen on news anti-American picketing by South Koreans who just want us to leave their country.

"Likely?" He came here in 1992 when he was 8 years old.

No, a lot of Koreans send their kids to the States for high school and college to avoid conscription in the South Korean army and the rigorous exam process needed to enter university in Korea.

As others have pointed out, he moved here when he was eight.
