Quote HistoryQuoted: Born here, but I am listed in my family tree back in Korea. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: At what age did you come to America? Born here, but I am listed in my family tree back in Korea. It’s a very strange las. Many adoptees fear - rightfully so - that even returning to visit their country of birth will result in their arrest and enlistment. |

I think my bud has a similar story. His parents brought him to America from Greece at like 9 years old.
He visited the old country as an adult and got some stern "y u no serve" interrogations and threats of arrest. |

Quoted: Quoted: I’m not even Korean and I did a year there defending them from the NORKs. You are welcome OP. What would happen if OP enlisted in the US Army, got stationed in Korea, then got picked up for that open warrant? Probably it’d be caught during overseas screening and the orders would be pulled. There are always a couple of Korean-American sailors who can’t disembark whenever a CSG pulls into Busan. |

Born here, but I am listed in my family tree back in Korea. Heh. No. My case would be more plausible. I was born in Seoul. My mother was a citizen of S. Korea at the time. I'm American through my father. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How did the gov know about you to come looking for you? Koreans have a running log of births in a book of the family tree. Family is very important in Korea as it determines your station in life. An orphan in Korea is fucked and that’s why so many were adopted by Americans. They publish his book and you can actually buy one to prove your parentage. When I was in school I rear ended a professor. I did the right thing and pulled over and gave him my info. Turns out he had the same last name as me. He raised his eye brow asked for my phone number and told me to goto class. Turns out he was a distant cousin of my paternal grandfather who had died in WWII. Boom! Instant family. Instead of a ticket I got invited to dinner and became a family member. |

I did a year in Korea and served with KATUSAs who were all conscripted. KATUSAs are Koreans that serve their conscription embedded into US units, they're almost all from well off families and mostly going to college in the US. I was the HHC company orderly and worked with the Senior KATUSA and saw pretty much all the goings on with them. There were about 10% dudes that made the most of it and were great, about 80% that accepted their reality and were mostly OK with close supervision, and about 10% that were mad at life and that they had to be there. The 10% made more trouble than the other 90% were worth.
We had a guy show up that acted like he couldn't speak or understand English for about 3 months, which was weird because it's a requirement to be a KATUSA. Turned out he was a student at Penn State and got got getting off the plane for summer vacation and instead of a vacation he went to boot camp. When that revelation was made they made the decision to send him back to the Korean army. When he was informed he had a full blown tantrum that ended with him rolling around on the floor bawling his eyes out. With conscription, you get what you get. Most of them don't want to be there and will get over any way they can once your back is turned. I wouldn't want to be in a military full of conscripts. We had less than 30 in a unit of 300 and they were mostly more trouble than they were worth. Russia's lack of success in Ukraine probably has a lot to do with that. Now that they're rounding up every military age male they can I think they're going to find that they have more problems, not less. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Maternal grandpa died fighting the Japanese near the end of WWII. Step granddad, was a northerner who was a Boy Scout which the norks considered a paramilitary organization and would killed him or imprisoned him, so his folks packed him up and made him walk south before the norks were able to reach his village. He was a smart kid and spoke English. American docs in a mash unit took him in. Just like the tv show. One of the officers took him home to Kansas City. He went to college and med school. Paternal grandfather did two tours in Vietnam in the US army. He was stationed at Ft Lewis for a long time afterward till he retired. OP, You have an incredible family history. |

Dad was a US Marine 52-54 in Korea, a pilot. The airfield was guarded by ROK Marines, and one day a detachment of ROK soldiers arrived. went to the barber shop and grabbed a Korean barber, took him around the corner and shot him with a Garand rifle. Killed him on the spot. His crime? Desertion.
Right in front of God and everyone...and they just walked out and left him according to Dad. Dad said he looked about 16-17 years old. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What would happen if OP enlisted in the US Army, got stationed in Korea, then got picked up for that open warrant? We had an Korean-American in my unit. He spoke Korean better than many of the KATUSAs spoke English. The CO made him his driver, so he could have a more trusted interpreter. Pissed the guy off IIRC, he just wanted to be a soldier. He hated Koreans, or at least he hated KATUSAs. I only had a couple of conversations with him, so I'm not really sure what his background was. |
