Two SKor Marine officers to be dismissed in wake of shooting rampage
2011-07-10
South Korea's Marine Corps will dismiss two commanding officers for failing to prevent a shooting rampage last week that killed four marines at a front-line base.

An anonymous marine official said Sunday that a colonel and a lieutenant colonel at the Ganghwa Island base will be dismissed soon and may face further penalties when the investigation into the July 4 shooting has been completed.

Officials say they are interrogating a corporal who allegedly shot his colleagues at the base in the Yellow Sea. Claims of abuse among marines have come forth following the shooting. Officials say the corporal had shown symptoms of mental illness.

#2  I met a young South Korean who had been a Lieutenant in the South Korean military. Here in the States he worked as a manager for a convenience store. He always studied technical materials in his spare time. Left to learn the art of a sushi chief at his in laws. He is a Korean opera singer also. Where he is headed I don't know. His people skills stink so I guess he is better off distant from others. He has an air of elite in his manner.
