My first question was... "WHY???"

bump

lol

Not impressed at first, but a very strong finish. I felt that the tenors were somewhat flat (lacking color), but Valjean, the baritone(?), put it a splendid performance.

Yes, I know it was lip-synched.

[GeronL]

I don’t expect them to be able to sing that stuff outside, lol. Or at all, come to think of that.

[hosepipe]

Not bad...... entertaining...

[Valpal1]

I know why... because they could! LOL

And because of universal service this speaks to shared experience they’ve all suffered.

Spent two years stationed at a base with ROK air force, my o my how things have changed. They had it rough back then.

[GeronL]

It could get real rough again if things go really bad over there.

[driftdiver]

Yes it could, and it probably will. At least thats what the people I know expect.

[Swede Girl]

Bravo, great job! God bless these young men who are the protectors of freedom for their people. Contrast what is north of them. Pure hell. And they must fight it.

[jmacusa]

I’m not an expert at military matters but I think if it ever did come down to the Norks invading the ROK, I think the Norks would throw away the guns and start grabbing everything they could eat, wear, ride in or put to their ear and listen to.

[Swede Girl]

I think you are right. If given the chance, the Norks would embrace freedom and love all that it will give them....food for one, and then all of the comforts they have not had. It is so sad for all of these people.

At the beginning, I assumed this was a poke in the eye for North Korea. But after reading the credits at the end, and the politically correct disclaimers, I realized it was just the usual GI humor about life in general. Lotta memories there of course.

[GeronL]

You were stationed there? Thank you for your service.

I love watching Korean dramas with subtitles online. :p

[19th LA Inf]

I didn’t mean to imply by “memories” that I was in Korea, though I did my time during that period. My best friend, a fellow 1950 mechanical engineering grad, also got drafted but found himself over there in a replacement depot. He was pulled out of a formation and told there was a need for a draftsman at UN HQ in Pusan. This conscientious guy told the officer “But I’m not a draftsman - - I’m an engineer!” When he was told “Well, you can take this job, or you can go up North where they’re fighting” he finally wised up.
