Notice the nice comments at the end about shooting the crazy protesters. Things are same everywhere.

Lee Jong Sun sounds like good people.

Pack up the statue and bring it home with all the troops. 50 years is enough.

Only the older South Koreans truly understand what we did for them. The young ones, much like the younger French, have no clue.

They have no idea how painful and tragic their lives will become if North Korea ever occupies South Korea. They will truly rue the day they had bad thoughts about the US.

His son found it easier and safer to change his name and live in obscurity here in the US.

Clean and easy...ain't no such thing.

I have a feeling General MacArthur would just laugh about all of this and say:

...just to hack his detractors off some more.

[badpacifist]

Agreed. Maybe we ought to pull out a few thousand more until they get real nervous. After all, the young mouthy ones will be the first ones shot by the commies as they roll through. They teach Korean history in Korea don't they?

Nonetheless, the dispute reflects a reassessment by South Koreans of the American role on the peninsula. In a poll taken last week, 53% of respondents listed the U.S. as the country most responsible for the division of Korea.

No kidding...You don't say?

That to me is a good thing because SOUTH Korea wouldn't exist if it was not for the US. They would all be saluting the beloved leader right about now were it not for us...

No Church, NO freedom TO protest... NO travel... people starving... NO college... NO a whole bunch of other things that they otherwise would not have had...

I knew a guy that as a noncommissioned officer did some serious butt kicking in the Korean War. When I knew him he was the coach for the U.S. Army shooting team, but whenever he went to Korea he was met at the airport by an official entourage of ROK Army officials who treated him like a king. He never told us what he did to deserve that kind of treatment.

Yawn, I am growing weary of the leftists vicious tactics world wide. Hope none of them ever need help from us again.

"Back then, if anybody had protested they would have been shot instantly. It would have been clean and easy," Jeon said. "It was clean and easy in those days."


This is a true Korean sentiment.

"From the sidelines, nearly 1,000 conservative defenders of the statue, many of them Korean War veterans, threw eggs and garbage at the protesters. Some blocked an ambulance carrying away injured protesters, screaming that communists didn't deserve to be rescued, witnesses said."

Sounds like a chapter in good standing of Free Republic is on the job in South Korea.

[Mountain Troll]

Right. We need to make an example of someone, and South Korea is expendable. Bring home the troops (and the statue), and let the North Koreans rape and ravage to their heart's content. Film at eleven.

[JPJones]

"It is time to reappraise MacArthur's role in history.

Lol, well at least they're upfront about wanting to rewrite history.

[359Henrie]

He didn't have to, they knew. Buy him a beer for me, please.
