Hi everyone,

I will add the below to book version of article:

Just before I left South Korea, I met a well-traveled man who couldn't wait for Vietnam to reopen. It's his favorite country. When I said South Koreans were so nice yet had the nastiest reputation during the Vietnam War, Jung-min replied, "We Koreans have all been in the military, so we know how to use weapons, but when it’s over, we forget about it. When there’s a war,” he chuckled, “we can be quite brutal.”

KPop promotes this illusion of Korean men as smooth skinned sissies. Boxing and MMA fans know better. The Korean Zombie was a global favorite because he just kept coming. Jung Chan-sung was never cocky, however. Many were teary eyed as a bruised Korean Zombie exited the steel cage for the last time to the Cranberries’ “Zombie.” The Irish, too, certainly know how to fight back.

In the 60s, us basketball players from the North Side { Chicago } had to take baseball bats to our B- ball games on the South side, because we had to wait on a corner for the CTA bus to take us back North. Today , it's probably an old Mac 10 , Uzi or a few frags. I have a couple good friends still there but they moved to the Burbs, so I told them to get the hell out of there - way far away. They wrote back said they were thinking of Arizona - I laughed and said - I was talking about the country - get out of the Country - as in Panama or someplace like that. That freaked them out - LOL

The illusion of Korean men as sissies must be a generational thing. I myself always thought of them as pretty tough cookies, understandably so given all they have been through in the last couple of centuries. More locally, we can also look to the now legendary "rooftop Koreans" for counter-examples. I just saw a report about the North Korean soldiers currently being "trained" in Russia. The Russians were apparently quite astounded by those guys--they never want to retreat, they keep on fighting almost like wild men. The Russians are trying to show them that often, a tactical withdrawal can be the wisest move, especially in attritional warfare, where you are trying to bleed the enemy's resources at minimum cost to yourself.

Too bad Johnny didn't stay in Scottsdale. Seems like a lunatic. For me I've always been advised don't end up in a place in SE Asia when the cops are called. You'll end up getting your head kicked in and teeth knocked out as a minimum. Questions are asked later.

This is the only election that I couldn't bring myself to vote. I can't vote for either of the genocidal maniacs and Jill Stein was terrible about the plandemic. I'm glad I sat this one out. No matter who wins, Israel wins. Btw, who the heck is johnny somali? I guess I'll have to google him too. I had to google wakanda!
