#2 An interesting comment once heard from a US soldier who had been stationed in SK: "We are there as much to keep the South from invading the North as visa versa."
He explained that like in many countries, the SK military and its civilian government were on two different sheets of music; and that their military would much prefer to fight in the North than the South.
With soldiers trained to be tough and aggressive, this US soldier's opinion was that they were looking for a fight. He said a common serious disciplinary problem is that a few ROK soldiers will try to start fights, hoping it will spread to a conflict with the North.
