(Seoul: Yonhap News) Hwang Dae-il reporting
After the news of Kim Seon-il(age:33)'s murder by Iraqi Resistance Group spread over the country, the website of Ministry of Defense was flooded with messages urging retaliation.
Especially, some posters were so consumed with rage that they vent their hatred against not only the terrorist group which murdered Mr. Kim, but also Iraq as a country and the Iraqis as a whole.
A guy whose handle name is 'I am a corporal, too' exhorted, "Wipe out everything in Iraq, to the last grass. Declare war against Iraq at once. Doesn't S. Korea have any backbone? Send paratroopers and marines to wipe Iraq off the Globe."
Another guy raised his voice, saying, "Iraqis are no longer human. Let us hunt devils in human form living in Iraq."
Another request demanded that the mission of Suh-hee, Jema Units(S. Korean medical and engineering units), serving in Nasiriah in Southern Iraq, be changed (into combat), and repay them with death.
One poster appeared to have almost lost his mind, saying, "Zaitun Unit(note: 3,000 strong S. Korean unit soon to be dispatched) should be a combat unit and sent to Fallujah. Slaughter all men, women, young and old. That should be Zaitun Unit's mission."
A poster named Song Dong-hoon argued, "Now that our brother was killed, what's the use for relief work? Even if we have to hire mercenaries, we have to take revenge until we catch the culprits. 50 million Koreans were humiliated. We should not help their rebuilding. We should keep retaliating until the suspects are caught."
Many posters lined up to volunteer for the mission if combat troops were to be organized to retaliate against the group which murdered Mr. Kim.
A man named Chae Young-soo said, "If they take volunteers for combat troops, I will sign up unconditionally. Innocent Korean son was brutally murdered. I cannot take it anymore. I want to fight terrorists even if I would be killed by them. I want a merciless revenge."
A man named Oh Sang-jin expressed his fury, "I am a second-year reservist. I want to re-enlist and wipe them out in Iraq. I like to show what Koreans are made of."
Some harshly rebuked the government for their lack of sound negotiating strategy, killing Kim Seon-il, while Japan was able to secure the release of their hostages.
This times around, there were few messages opposing the troop dispatch. When the news of Mr. Kim's kidnapping first broke, many such messages flooded the website.

"Al-jezeera says they won't release the video becuase it "may be disturbing for their viewers"...they released the opther ones..this one must be really bad."
If Al-jezeera had any compassion for victims it would not have released that other photos and videos. Al-jezeera is as evil as the terrorists.
Yesterday there was some academic "expert" on South Korea on my local radio opining that the beheading would cause an uproar in Korea to keep the troops out. Wrong-o!
Yes, the Koreans I know as tough. I wouldn't want to be a terrorist with an angry Korean after me. In fact the poor guy that was murdered, his behavior - begging - shocked me.
"The whole video did show the beheading, but, from what I heard, no media (including Arab) have played that part of the video."
WOnder why they are so afraid to show it? A beheading is a beheading. This was a small guy, easy to control with a bound victim and lots of apes on him. They must be afraid of the Koreans.
The Korean military tradition actually is based on the old Imperial Japanese Army who recieved their training from the German Army during the late 19th Century which is based on the old Prussian system. Japan ruled Korea (1895 to 1945). Stiff discipline and harsh training is part of that regima. The ROK military expect to lose a dozen or so trainees/conscripts each year, but it produces a mentally tough highly discipline soldier. The North Koreans are equally tough.
Uh oh....
Ya think we could get the ROC's assigned to the Falugha area?
It needs a good enema, don't cha know
It really is a profound change, indeed!
But I don't agree with this:
Some harshly rebuked the government for their lack of sound negotiating strategy, killing Kim Seon-il, while Japan was able to secure the release of their hostages.
What or whom made the decision to release the Japanese hostages? The Japanese may have been held by some other faction not as hell bent on beheading people. But who knows. Maybe I'm wrong there.
If you want to be really angry go to www.gawaher.com. It's an online islamic forum. I checked it out for the first time yesterday and went immediately to the political threads where I found about half of these "mainstream" islamists arguing that the South Korean DESERVED to have his head sawed off!!!
Interesting... I say, let the South Koreans loose. :)
One of the points that never seems to come up is that North Korea has literally thousands of agents fomenting trouble in the South.
The leftists and hate-America crowd there, if not springing from that source, are certainly aided from that source.
Sadly, I think you're right.
Are they getting it?!?
One S. Korean wrote, "Wipe out everything in Iraq, to the last grass. Declare war against Iraq at once..."
However, the problem isn't Iraq. The REAL problem is Islam and the murderous ramblings of its FALSE Prophet!
I just know this guy posts on FR. I just know it.
**"it doesn't serve our propaganda purposes."**
Bingo!
I wasn't buying the "disturbing to viewers" and you have zeroed in on their real reason....world backlash.
For anyone who has set foot in a ghetto liquore store, they full well know...
D ont P iss O ff K oreans!
I wondered about that too but we have no way of knowing what in God's name the animals had already done to him to break him down so.
