		<description>Here are this year’s Dirtbag Finder Leadersboard:

1. Mark -1

Note that who ever totals the most points at the end of the year, I will purchase for them a three-holing human-trafficked juicy of their choice using the proceeds I have accumulated by shaking down local business owners, awarding shady contracts and selling base access. If you like this website than please support it by ignoring the actions of USFK leadership in everything from black marketing to open protutition by "Good Neighbor" golf buddies.

Also if you have a situation that you think would make for a great Dirtbag Finder feel free to submit it to me through my e-mail address which you can find on my about page.  Thanks.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;So, my question is (and I’m only slightly trolling for an intelligent response) is…

…what kind of man can watch unfairness, injustice and corruption, and then look away… especially when it is so easy to speak up.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Kinda like a Korea Finder...ummm...field grades and sergeants major for the win!  :twisted:</description>

		<description>Hmmm...

You know, when incidents which suggest corruption among USFK leadership come to light, it gets very, very quiet.

I wonder why so few, especially under the relative anonymity of an Internet blog, are unable to post a brief message condemning illegal, immoral and unethical behavior by individuals who hold no small degree of influence over the integrity of our military and the direction of our country... not to mention the lives of fellow servicemembers.

This silence and apathy is taken as a signal of acceptance to continue dirty business as usual by those in "leadership" who are more concerned about themselves than you, the military or our country.

Leadership can be forced into a correct course of action if there are enough people bringing attention to wrongdoing... but that requires engaged citizens and honorable servicemembers.

So, my question is (and I'm only slightly trolling for an intelligent response) is...

...what kind of man can watch unfairness, injustice and corruption, and then look away... especially when it is so easy to speak up.

I am frequently reminded, in situations like this, that many (most?) "professional" soldiers are simply paycheck players more interested in themselves than what is best for their military or their country.

Shame.</description>

		<description>Mark, I stand corrected. It could very well have been a 75MM Pack Howitzer. While I do remember the baseball field, about 100 yds north of the howitzer slightly to the left was an old barracks type building that was used at the time as an enlisted club. Probobly gone by now.</description>

		<description>Anybody who doesn't recognize this all is a scam is part of the problem rather than the solution.

In typical USFK fashion, they place a "non-connected", caring, family-owned business off-limits for minor and unspecific reasons while ignoring the "connected", GI-screewing places openly involved in human trafficking, prostitution, black marketing and every imaginable illegal scam designed to part GI Joe from his money.

This has been an observable pattern since I started doing business near military bases.

The reasons for this action range from pressure on senior leadership from "association" golf buddies and Korean wives... to direct payoffs.  Couple this with pressure to keep a few bars on the Off-limits List to show "something is being done" and the little guys just trying to make a living have no chance.</description>

		<description>Gerry, they use a 75mm pack howitzer nowadays firing blank shells, and if someone were to pack it with golf balls, I think the only thing in danger would be the soccer field and baseball diamond.</description>

		<description>"off limits...for a few other reasons"

Too bad no one is saying what the "other reasons" were, lest the control freaks be held up to more ridicule.

If scooter riding is justification for being off-limits, what's next - bicycle riding?</description>
