Why did Yoon lift martial law if he had the support of the military high command?
  • He didn't really know for sure, either, I don't think. That's why it's weird to me that he just 'surrendered'. Was what happened completely legal this way? Can he not go to prison?

    Why did Yoon lift martial law if he had the support of the military high command?
  • Couldn't that have been just because of the immediate confusion and indecision about escalating by the lower unit commanders?

    There could have been infighting in the military, but he surely would have had quite some support, no? Why not take the chance if he already commited to imposing martial law?

    Edit: sorry if it came across like I support the guy. I don't. I'm just interested in sociology and politics. If you downvote me, could you explain what I'm getting wrong?

  • From what I understand, the military high command supported Yoon even after the assembly voted down martial law. If that's true, didn't he have everything to go through with the coup?

    Uuuhhhh ... based? Guys, help, I can't tell if it's based or not
  • Yep, this is originally a righty post. That's why I'm so confused that it's actually kind of based. The rough consensus here is that it's based, so we have bi-partisan support. Let's get this on the Congress floor!

  • Maybe he'll die before inauguration with how old he is?
