Naver or Hankyoreh or whatever the leftwing paper you quote doesn't make it an entire mouth piece on this issue, just as George Bush doesn't represent all of America. You can find articles like that, but I can find article like this too. http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200608/200608110020.html I guess you didn’t get my point dogberrt.

Naw. Christ, the Korean media has been carrying this sort of inaccurate reporting everyday for the last few months. It's even in Korean.

You wouldn't happen to have read about that in Kim Dae Joong's editorial in the Chosun.com, did you? Naw. Christ, Chosun.com has been carrying this story everyday for the last few months. And it's even in English. The last time I've checked, papers like Chosun, Joongang, and Dongah are also part of the Korean media. “European NATO members are in a similar situation.”

I suggest you at least read what’s being said in the Korean media before you write your own rhetoric.</blockquote> What's being said in the Korean media is that "Korea is the only country in the world without operational control over its military in wartime". As the poster pointed out, that is an obvious lie, as European NATO members are in a similar situation. This is extremely irresponsible reporting and editorializing by the Korean press.

Hopefully many of the Korean males slated for military service could be used to patch up the shitty sidewalks in Seoul instead of playing soldier for a couple years. Without fail, every single day I seek a Korean lady break a heel on her shoes because of the uneven, or often completely cracked sidewalks. It's got to suck to spend the rest of the day with a limp. --Remort I wish they debate the need for mandatory military service instead.
