"Like Elementary School Kids"

This article from the Joong Ang Ilbo about the possible sale of the F-22 fighter plane to Japan I found quite interesting:

When reports surfaced last month that Japan is trying to purchase the new F-22 Raptor, the most advanced U.S. fighter plane, the news had a ripple effect in the region.
Despite Korea’s drive to modernize its air force, the ultra-modern plane could alter the balance of air power and spark a drive by South Korea and China to catch up.
The Raptor, which is so far banned from export, is felt to be so far superior to anything else in the air that Japan would gain an immediate regional edge if it flies the plane. “Whatever is out there cannot match up with it,” retired Air Force general Keum Ki-hyun said of the F-22. “It’s like elementary school kids trying to win a fight against college students.”

Well that is only fitting because the South Korean government has been acting "like elementary school kids".  Where the heck has the ROK government been for the last five years, to busy drinking sunshine Kool-Aid?  While the South Korean government has been busy undermining the US-ROK alliance at every turn and using anti-Americanism for short term domestic political gain for the past five years, the Japanese government has been busy building stronger political and defense relations with the US.  The elementary school kid credentials of the ROK government is further apparent by their concerns that the possible purchase of the F-22 by Japan is some kind of sign of an impending attack on Dokdo. Is it any wonder why the F-22 is being sold to Japan and not to South Korea?
