Just put things in perspective I have seen far worse things from the radical leftists in America. I was at Ft. Benning when 6,000 crazy leftists attacked the front gate, knocked down some the MPs, and poured red paint them and then dumped coffins around the gate. The rest that got through the gate were running around post planting flowers that were supposed to represent all the people we kill. Pretty vile stuff and that is just one incident that comes to mind I have seen plenty of others as well.

Korea has their crazy leftists too but it is almost always the usual suspects and in much smaller scale. It is also important to remember many of these anti-US groups in Korea are backed by North Korean spies. You might want to read a posting I did on this before:

If you make friends with the KATUSAs and don’t hang out to much in the ville you will have much more positive experience in Korea.

You as innaprpriate as it is to say something like that i just don’t understand why they hate us like this you know… after all the in breifings we recive about courtesy’s and such, along with the two hour class on all the messed up things our military has done in this country( few and far between ) it just seems to me that the majority of college students and other radicals don’t want us here.. so soon are humans to forget the very people who helped to get them where they are today… i can honestly say that if it weren’t for my friends the katusa’s i would have some pretty foul outlooks on this place… we welcome anyone to our country with open arms. they seems to welcome us with a closed fist!

My apologies for not responding GI also I think the people are getting tired of the crap. Traffic jams, violence, disruption of their everyday routine just so some anti guru can get paid. Most of this stuff happens in Seoul it’s not nationwide. My experience has been that the people just want put in a days work go home drink a beer or two and call it day. They are more worried about paying bills than the USFK.

The taking of the GI in 2002 isn’t connected to the current trend we’ve seen the last few years…..

It did put an end to the first peak of the tank accident fury, but when there was (seemingly) no follow up to the USFK outrage, and no further US media attention beyond 2 articles, the Korean picked it back up a few weeks later — and that lasted until early 2003 when the US media began running almost daily coverage of the protests and outfits like 60 Minutes started doing specials…

What has kept things down was definately the draw down in troops….

Now that Rumsfeld is gone, let’s see what happens….

I think the protesting has gone down because 2002 is now a long time ago. The whole Kim Jong-il is our misunderstood brother and the euphoria of the World Cup is gone. Now the vast majority of Koreans know Kim Jong-il is not misunderstood and just playing them for every cent of South Korean tax payer money he can get and that the possibility of USFK pulling out is very real with the removal of 2BCT. There has been a variety of cultural shocks in South Korea that has effected the conventional wisdom of 2002 and is leaving Hanchongryun looking more and more irrelevant.
