As part of a UN peacekeeping force, some 350 South Korean troops will call a highland area 3km outside of Tyre, Lebanon home from July [Yonhap News, Korean]. If nothing else, the troops should get in some decent sightseeing [Wikipedia].

Will they be guarded by the Lebanese Christian militia while they’re installing Daelim toilets there or have they made arrangements to hire in Kurdish peshmerga force protection?
i would hate to be considered a korean apologist, but reference to toliet and the rok army is kinda getting old, don’t ya think? come up with something original please.
What the tie with the rok and johns?
I know I’m dreaming, but imagine if Lebanese food became the next culinary trend here as a result of this.
Korea passing off the use of its armed forces as REMF plumbers for Korean porcelain in safe zones as constituting participation in peacekeeping operations is kinda getting old, don’t ya think?

it is old. but your point is what? is that directed at me? i’m an american. anytime rok army is mentioned being stationed anywhere, the same toilet reference is made, which in my view is getting old and predictable.
That with the stone heads and their stone mirrors, the only thing that seems to work is a rock hammer.
