Hey, at least USFK personnel are getting booked for fewer offenses this year (sorry, can’t link to individual Korea Herald articles):
A total of 158 members – including soldiers, their families and civilian employees of U.S. nationality – were booked between January and August, the agency reported.
The figure represents a 23 percent decrease from the 205 who were booked during the same period in 2007.
Most were booked on charges of violence, although violent crime has gone down. Further down the list were charges related to traffic accidents, larceny, sexual misconduct and gambling.
None of the 158 were actually detained, however.
The decrease in crime was attributed to the tougher disciplinary guidelines of the Korean police and US military.

the tougher disciplinary guidelines of the Korean police and US military.
I don’t see how tougher KNP disciplinary guidelines would apply here, since it implies that the KNP has tougher guidelines regarding the behavior of its own troops.
This should be the direct link to the article. In Firefox you’ll find the direct links via tools–>page data–>links (sorry, my Firefox is in Finnish so I don’t know about the correct English menu terms).
You can also do this by going to tools>options>enable javascript (click advanced) and uncheck disable or replace context menus. (only need to do this one and then it’s remembered by ff)
Then on a Korea Herald page right click, this frame > show only this frame and you’ll get the direct link.
