@wiscombee Get your facts straight. South Korean farmers were not forcibly removed. They all got compensated nicely. Sure it sucks for some to have to move/etc but they were not forcibly removed from their land.
And South Korea already had lots of water parks, HUGE ones. If this was before 1980s, yeah, Koreans might not be happy but now their quality of life has greatly improved, some would even say better than some parts in US.
Same Camp Humphreys, just more improvements making it a better experience for the soldiers and there families. To respond to wiscombee's comment, I was a highschool student at OAHS and one of the lifeguards in the video, also one of few lifeguards that were actually American (the rest being Korean). So with my time talking with the fellow Korean lifeguards, I can say that they weren't hurt to see "an American water park." They recieved just as much pleasure from it as we did. "Kapshi Kapshida"
I'm a little dismayed by the seeming extravagence of Camp Humphries. I understand that soldiers living outside and their families want to have some of the comforts of home but honestly a water park? I can understand the forcible removal of farmers for the sake of facilities that promote regional security. But I can only imagine what those farmers are feeling when they seen an American water park what used to be their land.
