Wasn’t it in Viet Nam where South Korean special forces got a certain reputation for kicking @$$ (well, slitting throats) and taking names? Almost similar to that of the Ghurkas during WW2.
0You are correct about the ROK’s in Korea...they had a 100-1 Kill ratio. I had a friend who was flying Army U-21’s and had a ROK general on board. They took fire on their approach to their home base from a little village and shot out an engine. After landing the ROK General got some of his troops and they went down an shot every living thing in that village including cats and dogs. No one ever took fire from that village again..end of story!
I'm 6'1" (and at the time weighed about 180) and some of them guys were bigger than me.
They even looked "bad" and I wouldn't even wanted one of them to get PO'd at me.
Too bad most the (apparently) rest of the "wussified" World will not take notice and start kicking ass of the pirates (and forget about taking names) as that situation could be curtailed in a matter of months.
In South Viet Nam’s II Corps the VC would fire on Korean units from peaceful villages and then watch with satisfaction as the White Horse (the Division most responsible, as I recall) leveled the place.
