Police are investigating three U.S. soldiers following a tip that one of them flashed fellow passengers of a Gwangju subway while the other two laughed along. According to the tipster, the three GIs got on the subway at Hwajeong Station at around 6:00 p.m. Sunday. As soon as they got on, one of them allegedly let his member out for a little fresh subway air, then sat down next to a woman passenger and took photos of himself with a digital camera.
His two battle buddies laughed along, the tipster said. He also said about 10 people witnessed the incident.
Alerted to the problem, police were on hand to greet the Americans when they got off the subway at Sangmu Station. They found a digital camera, but were unable to find photos of the men engaging in lewd acts. Nor was a CCTV installed on the train. The GIs, for what it’s worth, are denying everything.
The authorities turned the three soldiers over the U.S. military, but police intend to conduct additional investigations.

“We are all Brack people”
“Police intend to conduct additional investigations.”
This place is ri-dick-ulous.
I think this is good. Yankees, USFK, should do more of this. The more clowning around, the less Koreans will take the US soldiers seriously.
And, that is good. There will be less talk of “American emperialism” or “American conspiracy”. Koreans will say “What Americans? They are clowns. They cannot even keep their pants up. Conspiracy? Give me a break.”
This will make the US presence in Korea a very light subject for young people. KJI did the same thing; he sold himself as being a “eccentric dictator” with a funny hairdo.
American soldiers should try the same approach.
-P.S. This guy is not the first to expose his “One-eyed monster”; MBC dancers did several times. However, I must admit this is the first time a black d*** was shown in a Korean subway.
Being considered a light weight can really work for the advantage of Americans. Korean soldiers will become more self-reliant when they realize they can no longer rely on Americans to defend Korea. They will become better soldiers, taking things into their own hands and becoming resourceful.
Some things will automatically become non-issues. The traffic accident that killed two junior high student, for example. All the driver had to do would have been to look stupid on TV. Korean people would have conditioned by then that Americans are error-prone and would have excused the driver. No candlelight demonstration.
Other things will become easy for Americans, once Koreans start regarding the US soldiers not as a dominating force but as a friendly bums. Koreans will become really friendly toward American soldiers, inviting them to homes and showing them Korean customs. More inter-racial marriages and more Hines Ward.
All American soldiers have to do is to expose their Willies in public once in a while.
Hmmm…tell Rumsfeld to issue Ronald McDonald costumes to USFK for the troops to wear, with their flies open. Naah….
This would have made prime fodder for an internet expose ala “Dog Poop Girl”. Where were the netizen journalists with their cell phone cameras then?
Why is it always blacks?
