#1 You know, it's oddly pleasant to see something other than an American, Israeli, or British flag being burned for a change, isn't it?

#2 Fred, I'd forgotten that little bit of cherry atop the sundae of "pissed off at the ungrateful adolescents". I'd say the SKors are adept enough to ensure they achieve whatever future they really want and far be it for us to intervene - pull out now, yet bolster our coordinated defense of Japan. Screw the ingrates...NKorea will teach them the definition of slavery and oppression. Hope they like the taste of bark and grass

#3 This might get a little long,but it's neccassry to prove a point.
In 1975,I was young,dum and full of c.. and stationed in Korea.Twice I got into hassles with Korean Nationals,(1)While in a bar in the local Vill 3 Koreans cae in one started to cause a fight with me,after a short time I was going to stomp him silly.But his friends got in the way,they drug his little ass out of the bar and apologized for thier friend's behavior.(2)A friend and I where walking from one night club to another(in city outside of Osan AFB),a Korean attacked my friend,before it got totally out of hand a KNP(Korean National Police)undercover cop(pretty one at that)came to our assistance.She got us a cab and sent us to the Osan AFB main gate.The guy followed us,and keep trying to get on base.Finally 2 big ol'corn-fed AP's grabbed his butt and drug him to the Korean police station,when they tryied to hand him over he fought with the KNP's(they slapped that poor guy stupid).I looked over at the KATUSA(Korean Augumentation to the U.S.Army)gate gaurd.He shrugged his shoulders and said"Supposed to,nothing but a trouble-maker".
This story is just to show that while there are some who object to a U.S.military presence(as is thier right).Most Koreans are friends to American military.
