ROK Military in Viet Nam Tribute

Dedicated to the (roughly) 300,000 fierce Republic of Korea soldiers who have fought on my homeland for my people's freedom. They did not have to help us but they did anyway and with that I pay this very little homage for their sacrifice.

ROK statistics in Vietnam:
- 4,960 KIA (killed in action)
- 16, 000 WIA (wounded in action)
- 40,000 enemy kills

Killing ratio:
1:15 (ROK:VC)


International comments:

Koreans killing ratio has been 15:1, and they drove out the enemy from the swamp area of Vin Dhing, where both the French and Vietnamese were not successful during the past 20 years. The basic characteristic of Koreans is their unending fighting spirit. It is not at all surprising that the enemy is avoiding contact with the Tiger, White Horse and Blue Dragon Warriors. Captured enemy documents indicate that the VC are instructed not to make contact with Koreans.
- Saigon Post March,20,1968

Captured Viet Cong orders now stipulate that contact with the Koreans is to be avoided at all costs unless a Viet Cong victory is 100% certain.
Never defy Korean soldiers without discrimination, even when are not armed, for they all well trained with Taekwondo.
- An excerpt from an enemy directive seized
- New York Times July 22, 1966

If the Korean forces had taken charge of the whole of South Vietnam or the U.S forces had drawn a lesson from "Go Boi", the Vietnam war would already have been won. When one takes a ride in a car for 96 kilometers in the pitch-black dark, there is not a single sign of rifle shooting or ambush attack.
None but the Korean soldiers could do so anywhere in South Vietnam.
-The London Times.

The Americans in South Vietnam give the Koreans top marks both as fighting men and for their pacification efforts.
Indeed, some Americans who have worked with the ROKs believe that it would not hurt the U.S to study their methods.
"It's a little bit like being a teacher and having an extraordinary student." mused one U.S offical "You come to class one morning and discover he has gone past you."

@TurkuTurklamakhan We East Asians are racist and we only admire white people. We consider all the other races inferior to us.

@TurkuTurklamakhan

and even today these central asians are nobodies even North Korea could march in on any one of those so called brave beggars and take them over if it wasnt for their Russian masters who wants them as buffer states. THey dont even use their own language LOL Ghengis Khan supposedly gave them that script, they are so proud of him yet use their white masters script. Their women are also whores to just about everyone even the Chinese that they supposedly hate so much. Fking weak.

@TurkuTurklamakhan

They try to say how different they are to the asian sterotype but actually they are just stupid little yellow gooks with a bit of white admixture because they are all fucking cultureless shits who didnt know their head from their ass and they have always been nobodies throughout the history. I mean when they keep saying how they are world conqueror it sounds impressive but when you actually look on the map they conquered mostly land with no one there! Like east Russia

@AbberantRender

And central asians they are pretty patehtic to.The world sees them as CHINKS but they are very embarassed with that image so they act like acy other typical chink and try to disassociate with asian people rather than bond together because they are cowardly little GOOKS just like any other east asian.THey are so embarassed and ashamed of the sterotypes they say how biiig they are but ive seen mongols and even Hazara Afghans who are mixed with persian are smaller than Pashtuns

KOREAN SO BEAUTIFUL!

@AbberantRender

You damn right Vietnamese look down on Cham people and everyone looks down on everyone. What I resent is how everyone is pressuring Korea to stop being racist as if they are not racist. Its because Koreans are so beautiful and everyone wants a piece of us.

[AbberantRender]

@TurkuTurklamakhan I know what you mean on that. I suppose it has to do with inherent racism (something that's present in all of us, even though many people can suppress it); Japan has regarded Korea as inferior for quite some time, and even today seem there's a definite tension, even if we are trade partners and military allies. As for China, you could say it's just extreme nationalism; they don't think any other country, especially one right below, could be stronger.
