Korean Culture Comes to West Point

For whatever reason South Korean performer Oh Jung-hae is promoting Korean culture at West Point of all places:

Oct. 19, WEST POINT, New York — South Korean artist and performer Oh Jung-hae (C) poses with cadets of West Point Military Academy in New York during an event on Oct. 19 to introduce students to Korea’s traditional music. (Yonhap)

    How do you know they have “Korean” faces? They could easily be of Korean, Mongolian, Chinese, and Japanese (or mixtures thereof)extraction.

    Hmmm … the only West Point Korean culture training I remember getting was from those cadets who got to spend their summer months training at Camp Casey:

    – Yell out “1st Tank!” when passing through Gate 1 of Camp Casey.

    – Say “Yes” when asked to buy her a drinkee.

    – If it comes in a kettle … drink it … and then drink some more.

    Corrupted for life …

    Are you serious Cal? :shock: (Hard to tell because on the net people can be joking and it might not come across.)

    Last I checked, the US has citizens of all races and those people can join the military and even go to West Point. :wink:
