Having worked with the ROK Marines in Viet Nam in '69,
they are people you definitely do not want to mess with.

If the Iranians think they have problems now with America,
they can look forward to all manner of hell if they piss off the Koreans!!!

Kelly,

Exactly my thought. I also worked with the ROKs in VN. They were not men of many words. When one would approach me and say, "Cigarette?". I just pulled out a couple for myself and gave him the pack.

We had ROKs (White Horse) for security at Sau Huyenh in 1967 - they quieted the place down real quick. We had depended on local ARVN force and the occasional 1st CAV sweep. The ROKs sent in a fire team. They set up a small tent on the overlooking hill, sent a message to the town that they were there - and no more sniper fire.

You are so right. I was in VN in 68 - 69, and as far as I could tell the ROKs were the most ferocious of all; in fact, the Vietcong were absolutely terrified of them. I woul LOVE to see them get invovled against the terrorists in Iraq. One thing I feel certain of, there would be no POWs to worry about being 'mistreated', they wouldn't take any.

Great post. I think these idiots are too stupid to figure it out.
