I worked a bit with the ROK, republic of korea, Marines in Nam. They were some tough bastards. I got along with them just fine. They sure didn't tuck tail and run like the fuckin ARVIN's.
In Seattle, many moons ago, the dry cleaning shop around the corner around the corner from my apartment was owned by a Korean family. After I noticed the large scar in his hand, I asked the senior male owner how he got it.
He said that it was a bayonet through the palm, and the the Nork who gave it to him didn't survive the encounter.
I've liked every South Korean I've ever known and being an Army Brat, I've known a few. The women are non-complaining and tough and the men are what men should be - hard but gentle.
Bless them.
ReplyDeleteSome time ago I saw one in a 7-11, except the relatives were inbound from Bombay.

DeleteThe Korean people value family above everything else. They are honorable people.
