In honor of Operation: Paul Bunyan I have decided to start a series called, Then and Now, to highlight the rapid changes and development of the Korean peninsula. Look for more Then and Now in the future.

[...] The prisoners were now of worthless propaganda value so the North Koreans eventually worked out a deal with US negotiators for the release of the crew in exchange for a signed letter from the US government apologizing for the incident. The US agreed and the 82 crew members and the body of Duane Hodges were handed back to the United States by crossing over the Bridge of No Return at the Joint Security Area on December 23, 1968; a full 11 months after their initial capture. Immediately after the crew were repatriated, the US retracted the apology they had given to North Korea. [...]

GI,
I Quote you: “I like Korea despite its quirks.”
South Korean mainstream ignores and treats as “quirky” the depravity of the North Korean cult, in the same way you ignore and “like” South Korea with its little “quirks”.
Your multi-cult tolerance of South Korea … in my opinion “honors” the Paul Bunyon operation from the North and South Korean perspective.
You consider it all Korean quirkiness… that can be ironed-out with Lt. Gen Charles Campbell’s tears… and some American multicult compassion.
The reason, why I consider you a multicult-socialist who has infiltrated USFK… operating as a disinformation operative, by suggesting Korea is a respectable culture with a few “quirks”.
Your condoning evil, by “liking” South Koreans, doesn’t hide you under the “racist” radar as you hope … it only makes you share the collective guilt of condoning evil, and reveals your stealth contempt for Koreans by considering them immune and exempt from moral behavior — implying they are incapable of morality and thus, are “quirky” little brown people.
GI, face up to your moral bankruptcy … and seek a solution — quick!
First step: stop fucking up my Army with your false morality — discharge yourself from the Army ASAP.
