  1. Patrolled near there in 1988,those people are supposed to be wearing a certain colored hat for each day,they can’t go out at night and must follow a strict daily routine. They of course get paid extremely well for living there. It’s foggy there at night and it gives it a spooky vibe. DMZ duty was awesome,we carried live ammo,203 rounds,claymores,smoke,flares and other items. HHC 1/5 infantry,camp Howze.

As a Korean, and studying international relations and politics, I’m so sick of they’re pretending like they’re sacrifice themselves as world hero, in real, they are cleaning out or taking responsibilities of the shits they’ve been made as a “country which can decide what to do for countries which need to follow what they are told to be”. Look at how miserable old man who cannot meet his own family for 70 years and many other people who cannot meet their own family. This is bitter reality to admit.
