		<description>Actually, Tsushima or Damado was Korean in culturally &#38; historically. It was independent island state until Japanese forcefully occupied the islands. These who have never visited this islands please visit the island and see for yourself. Nearly all historical sites and graves are belongs to Korean immigrants and Middle Korean.</description>

The proper response to a personal anecdote used as an argument is an &lt;i&gt;ad hominem&lt;/i&gt; attack, is it not?  If the story of your uncle is documented somewhere, along with other stories of Koreans being the majority of the guards at Japanese POW camps and engaging in cannibalism, then you might have a point to bring up.  However, in the absence of such documented evidence, I can also interpret your anecdote as your uncle, who learned Japanese, was an ally betrayer/Japanese collaborator who abused and ate prisoners at POW camps with his Japanese friends during WWII and who made up such malicious lies out of hatred for Koreans.  Since you don't have anything documented to refute my claims, my interpretation holds the same validity.

Your personal anecdotes and those of your uncle, late former father-in-law, cousin's girlfriend's next-door neighbor's acquaintance, and other various relatives hold little weight as legitimate evidence and only invite &lt;i&gt;ad hominem&lt;/i&gt; attacks.  (Although, at least in the case of your former father-in-law, the Polish calvary being destroyed by German tanks is documented by B&#38;W video footage).

The idea that your uncle, a POW, asked a prison guard, whom he saw cannibalizing other POWs, personal questions is absurd to say the least.  Furthermore, your claims that he studied Japanese before being captured during WWII at Queen's University (Kingston, Ontario), where the Japanese language program was established in 1988, seems rather suspect.</description>

Is no rock in the sea safe from the hungry Korean beast?

Here's an idea. Stimulate volcanic activity and create an artifical island just past Dokdo and then claim it. That should expand the EEZ.</description>

		<description>actually, let's now hear from Mr. Gerry Bevers, 

the proponent of the theory that

Sejong Daewang is the originator of comfort women services.

It's scholarly.  Let's give it another voice.</description>

		<description>"Drop me a line when the USFK army docs are taking care of prostitutes in Dongdoochon. LOL."

I recall that this was in fact one of the anti American criticisms - that the USFK was mandating penicilin treatments in too high a strength which women claimed was weakening them.</description>

		<description>if you've watched "Letters from Iwo Jima"  (objectively a good movie, separate from any feelings I have about Japan),

you will see men of grown age wrapping their lower torsos with garments made by  women.  Upon superficial investigation of the matter, it seems these garments were women's undergarments.  I guess something like panties.

So, a grown soldier wearing panties on the front line, can escape bullets, because bullets will dodge them.

LOL, right?

Don't laugh too hard, fellow 2nd class citizens of the Japanese Empire.

Koreans wore this shit during the Korean war and the Vietnam war as well.  Watch that movie with Dokgo Yong Jae, concerning the Vietnam war.

Let's stop copying Japan, Koreans.</description>

		<description>if the Japanese army wasn't involved in the sex squadron, why the hell were Japanese army doctors giving these women abortions, sexual disease treatments, and vaginal exams?

Don't they have better services to provide, such as in taking care of the soldier's health?

No army in the world takes care of the health of local prostitutes catering to the armed forces.

Drop me a line when the USFK army docs are taking care of prostitutes in Dongdoochon. LOL.</description>
