Picture of the Day: Taeguki In Afghanistan

» by in: Afghanistan

Look what Michael Yon found in Afghanistan:

Korean Flags –

I see these flags in various provinces. This flag is in Urozgan (am now in Nangarhar). Many Korean missionaries have come to Afghanistan trying to convert Muslims to Christians, but I have no idea where these flags are coming from. [Michael Yon Facebook]

Anyone surprised that the Korean missionaries are still getting around in Afghanistan despite the travel ban after the kidnapping and murder of a Korean missionary group three years ago?

    You shouldn't accept everything you read on the internet as fact. Especially a random post someone made on a facebook page.

    I seriously doubt missionaries are traveling around with huge flags in their backpacks.

    It was probably 'acquired' from one of the Korean military detachments.

    I would not be surprised at all to find Korean Christian Missionaries in Afghanistan today.

    I would not be surprised at all to find Korean Christian Missionaries in Afghanistan today from the same group as three years ago, or a new group connected to that old group.

    I do not find it hard to believe that they would have huge flags. I would be surprised if they didn't, and if they didn't have any Dokdo propaganda.

    I would be pleasantly surprised if you could prove me wrong. Go forth! Gather evidence! Take pictures! Add something real to the discussion!

    Why let a perfectly good taeguk flag go to waste. A tent needs mending and that flag is made from perfectly good material.

    I think we are reading too much into it boys.

    Seems like some posters here need to zip up their presuppositions… :razz:
