Can the times we live in stop getting interesting now!!! for fuck's sake

No, you are entirely correct as well with 2. Even if this particular fiasco ends up only being just that without directly leading to anything else, the world as a whole is becoming more and more troubled and tumultuous. I see difficult times ahead :(

there is context though. The Korean soldiers who massacred civilians in Jeju, Gwangju, Vietnam, etc. were hardened by Japan's imperial wars and then the Korean War. The majority of the current generation of Korean soldiers have not seen active combat and would have much more compunctions
