<Beheading of a S. Korean> Exploding Demands to Military for Retaliation

(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.

Can we get an estimate on the size of S. Korean demonstrations either against Islamo Terrorism on the one hand, or against the United States on the other, in Seoul right now?

Look at this group that turned out at Kwanghmun (downtown Seoul) earlier tonight your time. Despicable.

There are still a lot of saps out there in South Korea for sure!!

Perhaps the Tiger, White Horse and Blue Dragon divisions need another campaign ribbon.

I'll be keeping track of this one for sure.

I wish I knew more about computers, seems those rancid bastards could use a troll or two.

I almost signed up on the forum yesterday but was a little too busy. I think that later today I'll start some intensive trolling, maybe as "Mohammed Wasa Fuqr".

I think they are actually afraid of South Korea.

The Koreans would burn all of Fallujah to the ground to the point where if there were any innocents they would be pointing out the terrorists.

Re #81

Yeah, 2000 losers turned up. They will have a nationwide rally on 26th. That is, all hardened leftie nutballs in S. Korea will turn up. However, the mood is swinging against them. Internet opinions, which are usually friendly to the lefties, are turning against them.

I think that the left is not going to win this political battle.

Perhaps I give them too much credit but they may realize that they are not dealing with a Politically Correct America in the South Koreans.

Send to Iraq the same units that struck fear in the hearts of the Viet Cong.

At one of the numerous fire support bases I was at we had a Korean fire base down the road about 1/4 mile. One night we saw a man with a load of firewood/kindling leave the woodline a little up the road from us, heading past us and the Koreans for a village. the road had a 6:00 PM curfew and this was about 5:45. We watched as he hurried along, but knew he was late. Sure enough, at exactly 6:00 PM he was directly across from the Koreans - enough said, another 15 minutes and he would have made it home.

The Koreans did not screw around. To them red was red and blue was blue, there were no wishy washy answers. 6:00 PM was 6:00 PM and at 6:01 PM you got fired up if you were on the roads.

Actually, interesting parallel to the recent Japanese hostages situation. A

ctually, they themselves, as lefties, probably staged it in that case.

But at any rate, the generally liberal chat boards on Yahoo in Japan, at that time, went EXCLUSIVELY ANTI TERRORIST and ANTI LIBERAL. Let's hope that happens. I just saw a clip of the deceased relatives ripping down an Iraq flag and Arabic script, in front of their house, in absolute anger and disgust.

Eggheads should be locked into cages and forced to sodomized each other on pay tv for the entertainment of prison inmates.

Re #90

The left is losing control of this issue, even though they may not have realized it yet.

Thanks for this post T.L.R., I've been wondering how South Korea was reacting to this crime.

Many thanks for your personal reminiscence of Korean service during the Vietnam war. They were our staunch allies. And I salute you sir.

MaoTse Tung had the right idea during the cultural revolution. He exiled thousands of professors and intellectuals to the countryside to hoe cabbages and shovel pig manure. Nikita Kruschev went crazy over an abstract art exhibition and had it torn down. Circa 1958. Who said commies are all bad? Even the Mohammedans have their pluses when they push child molesters off of cliffs in Iran. WE can learn from our enemies.

Perhaps we should give the ROK's a TAO in Fallujah. Maybe we could read a story like the following.

"The massacre reported in the Hankyere might be the same incident that many Vietnamese heard in 1966. The rumor ran that in an operation, the Korean troops encountered strong fire from the communist unit in a village. The Korean unit encircled the village, sealed off all possible escape routes. They used megaphones to warn civilians to get out of their village in a given time or get killed when the Koreans came in.

After the deadline, the Koreans launched a fierce attack and seized the objective in a short time. In their search throughout the village, the Koreans shot to kill every single moving creature they met. According to the rumor, more than 300 peasants - old and young women and men, children - were massacred, plus several scores of enemy troops that mingled with the villagers.

News of the massacre quickly spread far and wide, and from then on, communist units dared not use villagers as their human shields against the Korean force. Some Koreans said that both sides in Korea had been doing the same during the Korean War.

The savage tactic proved effective, as security was maintained considerably in the Korean Force's TAORs. Even thieves were scared off from the area."

Yes, the Koreans I know as tough. I wouldn't want to be a terrorist with an angry Korean after me.

I remember reading that during the Rodney King riots, the Korean shops weren't looted--because there were Koreans with rifles on the rooftops.
