Now they?ve gone and done it.
Many of you here know that infantry divisions protected important areas in Vietnam during those conflict (politically correct) years. In QuiNhon we had the ROK troops. Post number eight at the airfield was on the end of the perimeter that had the crematory. In the morning you could see the ROK troops out by their dump sticking fleeing rats with bayonets so they might have meat for dinner I guess. The Korean troops also would spend a good part of their day kicking and hitting each other and wood post they had stuck in the ground. This was TyKwonDo karate and a ROK troop couldn?t leave VN unless and until he had a black belt. I used to love getting assigned to tower number eight. One thing the Koreans were known for is their HATRED of their enemy and especially if that enemy was communist. You just didn?t mess with armed Koreans.
Now the Iraqi terrorist have taken and beheaded a Korean. Those terrorist don?t know what terror yet but unless things have really changed over the years, they are about to find out. They'll be the recievers.

Heard a rather learned man discuss potential changes in Iraq come 30 June. His prediction is that there will be some events dealing with the IDF and some local terrorists, where we might have acted differently, but where the Iraqis will deal with the situation very effectively. If the IDF turn over a certain area to any ROK troops, they should just turn around and leave, as these JYD's will clean house. The next 6 weeks after the hand-over will be very interesting.

Thanks for the article, Stick. I too believe that the ROK's will demonstrate a new variety of fun to the ragheads.

The Iraq people do not like to be called ragheads. They said they do not wear rags on their heads , they are really little sheets. From now on please respect their wishes and do not call them ragheads , they are really Little Sheet Heads
