Just saw this break on fox news, no details yet either.

Doesn't SK have a pretty sizable "Go Home Yankee" movement?

Kim just told his army to "prepare for war" this week....
But with our dear leader he doesn't have to worry about that with us.

Part of me thinks you're insane for saying it, but an increasingly large part of me thinks it's insane that we have to hold everyone's hands. It obviously ain't cheap and so many of our "allies" aren't exactly grateful(I don't mean SK, but in general).

Yes.
But it was connected to our annual war games which has often been the pretext the North uses to do things like sink South Korean frigates and and other more extreme shit like that...

So business as usual.  They are not going to start shooting anytime soon.  Everyone, including North Korea, wants the status quo.

That's really my point. We've held their hands so long that they as a group have forgotten WHY we are there.

Bring everybody home and let them realize WHY we were there in the first place. Then they can pay us to come back.

The South doesn't really need us there. Not ground forces, anyway. As long as we're supplying them, flying top cover for them and brushing aside whatever leaky tubs the DPRK calls its navy, the ROK army can take care of business.

South Korea is the most pro US country I've ever been in. There are more people wearing US flag adorned clothes in SK than at the Kansas State Fair.

Key Resolve Exercise just started.  DPRK always acts stupid(er) when US and ROK exercises happen.

There's a small ROK community that protests the exercises.  Most ROKs are pretty pro-US at this time.  It's varied historically.

Violent behavior is really unusual, though.

There was a veteran protest this weekend in Jong-ro district of Seoul.  Lots of cops.  The wife and I wandered on through because these things are just almost never violent.  Actually had a bunch of the vets say Hi to us.  I just got back yesterday from Seoul - she'll be back end of next week.

Article said the guy's name was Kim.  That's like 50% of Koreans.  There's only six common family names in the whole country.

ETA:  Wife is watching on South Korean news right now - she says news is reporting the attacker as a "super crazy (Korean slang for old man)."

From August 2007 until June 2008, he served about a year in what had been scheduled as a nine-month tour of duty in Iraq as an intelligence officer with the Navy SEALs. He received a Bronze Star Medal for his service in Iraq

Ambassador Mark Lippert is pretty well liked in South Korea.  I recently read a article in a Korean Newspaper praising him.  Here's a link to the article.  'Lippert-style' diplomacy in the making  By the way this newspaper is one of the left leaning newspapers over there.  

The man who attacked him is one of those crazy Pro-North liberals.  There's a small minority of Pro-North/Socialists in South Korea, they're often vocal and violent.  I call them the South Korean equivalent of Democrats.  The South Korea government recently banned one of their parties.  South Korea court bans 'pro-North' political party

They also recently deported a Korean-American for praising North Korea.   Korean-born American deported from South Korea for praising North
