Ergo, no fondness or connection with the country. I get the sense that GIs don’t “live” in Korea in the same sense that many of us here do. Ergo, no fondness or connection with the country.

As long as they can be assured of getting Lt Caffey as their defense lawyer later.... “…Maybe that’s what you good soldiers…should do…just beat the shit out of these “military police” who can’t themselves seem to stop beating up civilians.

If you can't drink than keep it to the base. Especially the males! I wouldn't lockdown the females. Did a female ever attack a cab driver? Learn to hold your drink!

I'm reminded of the scene in "Full Metal Jacket" (maybe not based in reality), where the drill sergeant punishes everyone because the fat recruit had a donut. Then later, everyone beat the hell out of the fat one. Maybe that's what you good soldiers whose representations are getting tarnished by the bad ones should do...just beat the shit out of these "military police" who can't themselves seem to stop beating up civilians.

That's what Koreans understand and so that's what needed to be done to keep the peace. Although it got Koreans residing in the US to begin to think differently about collective guilt, the VTech massacre did nothing to change that mentality in Korea.

When I was in the Air Force, during boot camp we had a guy who refused to do anything, including getting up in the [early] morning. A sergeant had to kick his butt out of the bed, and while he went up and brought back the dude, we were running around the block, singing our unit song. At 5am. On an empty stomach. After a few days, that dude had 500 angry guys to contend with. Way more efficient than whatever punishment a sergeant could have inflicted on him... Communal punishments tend to work.
