It's kinda make sense that the military would want to use homegrown product (in this case, samsung) so they can fully control what's running. They seem to want a fully locked down device, with wifi, usb, tethering, mic and camera disabled while in premise.
stratistimes.com isn't korean. The journalists used scare quotes, like the koreans are crazy, they're not crazy. But I personally don't trust samsung either, usa favours them too much. Something doesn't smell right.
I mean, you can trust them if you are Samsung. Samsung is gonna sell you out to the USA, but they're not gonna sell out the South Korean military. The South Korean military exists to protect the Samsung/Lee family and the other six Chaebol.
