You have a contradiction. You admit they may have had an extremely restrictive ROE, but ignore what that means about military buy in for their orders. That's something the officers would impose to maliciously comply with the president's orders. "The President has ordered you to occupy Parliament and secure the building from ministers and staff. Your commander requires that you do this without hurting anyone, the most you may do is to give verbal commands."

No matter which way you cut it, if they had believed in it those staffers would be dead or in detainment and the legislators wouldn't have made it within a mile of the place.

Not necessarily. I think it's quite unreasonable to interpret it any other way than that the President presumably wouldn't want Koreans mass shooting Koreans, especially elected politicians. The level of force they used is pretty much what I would expect of normal compliance with the orders and their presumed spirit, given what seems to be a lack of detail.

That's ridiculous. I'm sorry but you've obviously never been around military culture.
