friendly fire...

at 11:50am on July 4, a korean marine went on a shooting spree killing 4 and injuring 2, including himself....

he loaded a K-2 rifle and went into the room where the others were sleeping after completing their night patrol rounds.....

3 marines died at the scene, 1 died while being transported to hospital....

the marine who fired the gun, then attempted suicide by throwing a grenade in a room, but only sustained facial injuries, and is in stable condition now. the second injured marine was shot in the leg 3 times as he struggled with the shooter to take the rifle away....

the ripples through the nation, media.... the overflowing opinions.... criticisms.... finger pointing.... blame game.... it has all started.....

the general response from the nation is.... "lack of discipline".... so many people are saying, the army these days is nothing like the old days.... they need to be more strict.... more discipline...

the greatest shame here is.... thats such a korean response..... what they dont account for is the mental issue here.... how can a 20 year old be pushed to become that mental that he is going to fire at his own mates.... if he was already being noted for not adjusting to his military services... then why dont they ever find a shrink.... counselling....??

the korean way is.... ur a psycho if u cant overcome these problems urself.....

secondly.... in the news reports, the neighbours said they saw the other marines running away in their underwear like they had just seen a ghost..... rolling and hiding in the bushes..... one man claims, he had never seen a group of soldiers run so fast.....

why does it take ONE marine to wrestle his mate getting shot in the leg, while the others run away in their underwear??? i dont get it.....

it was only 3 weeks ago.... this same marine division shot at an Asiana Airline passenger airline coming into Incheon Airport.... coz they thought it was a north korean fighter jet..... WHAT THE F**K is going on??? seriously.... i dont see the point.....

if they dont cause trouble like this inside the barracks, once they complete their military services, they cause trouble on the streets.... thinking that fists and muscles can resolve everything.... and you put young guys away for 2 years aging from 19~21 yrs old... they all get horny and turn into sex-maniacs.....

yes, its national duty, and i love korea too.... i also understand they are still 'technically' at war.... but if a war does break out, i wonder how many 19 year olds forcefully put in those barracks are prepared to die....

many people say i will never understand because i don't have to do the military service in korea... its probably true.... but as long as the guys who finish their services keep fighting, swearing and cause a public disturbance in restaurants like they do.... i dont really care to understand..... the two years makes them fitter and bulkier... but no more useful to society than they were before they went in.....

don't fix it if it ain't broke...

its seriously broken.... so FIX IT~!
