Here is some more Dokdo nonsense for everyone:

The Air Force’s F-15K fighter jets carried some digital map information that is at odds with their mission to defend the country, it has emerged. The jets carried digital maps that referred to Korea’s Dokdo Islets either by their Japanese name “Takeshima” or as “Liancourt Rocks,” the East Sea as “Sea of Japan,” and Mt. Baekdu in Chinese as “Changbaishan” — all names that are red rags to many patriotic Koreans.

This was revealed by Grand National Party lawmaker Kim Jang-soo, a former defense minister, in a questionnaire distributed Sunday prior to a parliamentary audit of the Defense Ministry.

According to data the Air Force submitted to Kim, the information was ironically found in digital maps carried by F-15Ks mobilized for an exercise to defend Dokdo between July 29 and Aug. 1, 2008. It said the commanding general of the Air Force Operations Command ordered the wrong information corrected and revised digital maps were distributed in February this year.

Korea bought 40 F-15Ks worth W4.5 trillion (US$1=W1,176), or W100 billion each, between 2005 and 2008.

The error occurred because Boeing, the manufacturer, used digital maps made by the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the Korean Air Force did not check this in the process of procurement.  [Chosun Ilbo]

Just further evidence that hardly anyone outside of Korea knows or cares about the Dokdo issue.  If this was so important they should have put this in the procurement contract.  Maybe the Dokdo Racers, knife in the gut man, flag eater man, finger chopping ajumma, the Dokdo Riders, the pheasant smashers, and my favorite of all bee man need to start protesting Boeing to make sure this doesn’t happen again?
