South Korean Military in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq

The South Korean military has deployed over 1,000 troops in the Kurdish region of Iraq. Though they are part of the multinational force, the soldiers do not patrol the streets or take part in combat operations. Instead, the South Koreans teach local Iraqis new skills, from repairing cars to baking cakes. VOA's Brian Padden recently visited the South Korean base known as Camp Zaytun and files this report.

Fuck that Phyllis Bennis bitch. It's not Korea's fucking war so why shouldn't they want their soldiers to be safe? And besides, I'm not Kurdish, but I'm pretty sure that for the most part, Kurds appreciate what the ROK Military is doing.
