Put them back on topic! You came out with the douchbag comment. I said you sounded like a KN on a pity party. Instead of calling me names because I'm an American, explain how I'm wrong. You assume so much. I spent nine years in Korea. Requested all but the first. But it was better duty back in the 80-90, than from what I hear now. I was there in 2002 thru 2003 I have eaten dog. I have been treated well by the KN's and badly. You can't talk about the bad all the time about americans as you seem to do. Not without someone calling you on it. Some GIs just have no good experience in korea. There are reasons for that. Often korean reasons, but also military ones. They didn't call 2ID as "above the no smile zone" for no reason. With you it seems that all americans are racist korean haters. Just isn't true. I can go to either side. Can you? I'm sure your are clever, but your displeasure with americans hides it completely. Now if you want to go back to name calling---up to you. That is your OPTION. Put them back on topic!

I am not at my last resort, I just wish the comments were back on topic instead of just Korea bashing, which you seam so feverishly bent on. BTW if self-hating had nothing to do with nationality I have no clue what would make you think I am self hating.. looks like just more crazed word vomiting. Also, "oh so cleaver" just proves my point.

You fit so well. "usually" is the operative word. Not a constant. You means YOU. Individual as opposed to national. Duchebag is your word. Why would I attempt to be "creative". I know so little of name calling. But you have it down. Retarded is also quite creative. You are very good at name calling. Most liberals are. I am disappointed that it took you four minutes to type your post and then STILL forgot to include the, Oh so cleaver, retarded comment. Your slipping! Liberals last resort is "name calling". You fit so well.

You are making a stretch since I mention I am ex Army above...usually people that work for the DoD are right wing 2) Self-hating -- so just because I don't enjoy bashing my host nation I automatically hate America, huh? 3) Douchebag -- really creative... just use the same word I used... you are retired?? from what? JROTC? You just sound ridiculous… 1) why am I a liberal?
