Interview with the “Godfather”

» by GI Korea in: USFK

Really nothing to juicy in this Yonhap interview of the Korean USFK media relations officer known as the "Godfather" until the subject turned to the 2002 Armored Vehicle accident:

He presented as an example the two South Korean schoolgirls crushed by a U.S. armored vehicle in 2002.

"Local media didn’t pay attention to the U.S. soldiers’ sorrow and mourning for the tragic incident, while focusing on the public uproar over the U.S. troops," he said. "Sometimes, I think Korean people view USFK-related incidents too emotionally."

If only more people in the Korean government and media would speak up like this and stand up to the anti-US hate groups that often spread disinformation and out right lies to the Korean public.
