Come on. I don't disagree that there are jerks in South Korea. After all, we can't have them ALL.
But get a grip. Look at the size of these anti-American crowds. The one in front of the Military Museum has at least 50 people!
I've seen these demonstrations many times in the 11 years I lived in Seoul. They are a minority, but they are organized as leftists a-holes are, and they have a sympathetic voice in the press that gives them more exposure than they deserve. (Remind you of home at all?)
I agree...I spent three years in Korea, about half of that in Seoul (Yongsan). By far, most S. Koreans I met were grateful for the American military and loved America and all things American. A loud and boisterous minority loved to stir the sh!t-pot, but hardly represented the majority view of people I met there...get into the more remote areas, i.e., Munsan, Chun'chon, etc. and the support for the US grew even stronger.
