Many of these incidents have been documented and confirmed over time. According to all the history of ROK military in VN, they were killers. Period. Because one did not witness such atrocities first-hand does not mean they didn't happen. There is far too much photographic and eyewitness evidence to continue this 50 years of denial.Bonita Caracciolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15106902092391632532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-2637270348888035122009-05-10T02:51:00.000+09:002009-05-10T02:51:00.000+09:00I am skeptical of the Fonda-esque comments about m...I am skeptical of the Fonda-esque comments about massacres. Especially given the "he said - she said" context.<br /><br />I am a Marine who was attached to three ROK Marine infantry companies and their recon platoon during 1967 and 1968. Such behavior would be out of character for Korean warriors, in my experience. They were fierce warriors, no doubt, but I never witnessed the murder of innocent people, nor have my unit members mentioned this at our reunions, to my knowledge.<br /><br />I suspect the origin of such rumors is from the draft dodgers sup supported the communists and wanted me to be killed (like Jane Fonda).1ANGLICOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09056082946990118205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-9851453191503536562009-04-29T20:41:00.000+09:002009-04-29T20:41:00.000+09:00The fact at the end is an important one.

The countries that fought for Korea's independence are now finding the fight in Afghanistan harder due to Korea giving the taliban 20 million dollars. Every Korean should be ashamed of that and demand more from their joke of a government. Korea always gets angry when they are pushed to change, but the fact that they can't keep their country as one and problems around the world that are due to Korea not being able to run their country properly shows that they need to change the way they think and accept that the Korean way is too backward and ineffective.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11805819348204202303noreply@blogger.com
