Hey, look, I wasn’t the only one who thought the ROK Special Forces-snow-bathing photos were cool.

Robert,

No photos of topless Mongolian girls frolicking in the snow?

BTW, I’ve worked with them before and they are as hard a woodpecker lips. But like most of the ROK forces, they are only as good as the senior leaders who lead them and place them in harms way.

If you think the US in Iraq is hobbled by the politicians who tell the well trained and good intentioned commanders what to do, how effective do you think the ROK commanders are?

Wow, that Naver article reeks of insecurity. They even went to the trouble of circling ‘awesome’ and ‘pretty tough’. Whatever, Matt Drudge lives in Hollywood. Do they even get snow there?

I seem to recall that there is an all-female unit within the special forces. I’d like to see them frolicking in the snow too.

PS. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate what these guys do for a living (I served, so did my dad and my grandfather. Two of my uncles were in the Canadian special forces, actually). I just think that rolling around in the snow is a bit silly, and really not that impressive (let me put it this way: you’ll never see pictures of guys from JTF-2 rolling around in the snow shirtless).
