An excellent job, by foreigners from
Australia
Belgium
Canada
Colombia
Ethiopia
France
Greece
Luxembourg
Netherlands
New Zealand
Philippines
South Africa
Thailand
Turkey
United Kingdom
United States
All citizens of these countries deserve special privileges in South Korea. At the very least, they should be exempted from the usual let's-screw-all-foreigners attitude. |

My grandfather fought in the Korean war, and was wounded by shrapnel from a bomb which pierced through his leg. He was sent to Japan to some hospital. Eventually, in 1981 just a few months before I was born, he died from a blood clot that formed in that injured leg. |

The knowledge that my worst is not as bad as I thought makes me feel really good. Thank you. |

Lots of Irish people fought in the american civil war. When do I get my special priveliges? Oh, also world war I. I'll take special priveliges from the frogs too, presumably in the form of cheese.
The only special privelige you deserve is the back of the hand, you cretin. |

Yeah, sometimes when I walk around and see smiling Koreans enjoying life, eating at restaurants, kids playing outside, people enjoying a free and prosperous life in a democratic nation... then I compare that with the horrible images from that psychotic North Korean despotism... I definitely sometimes think... wow, my grandfather was a part of defending this type of lifestyle. He helped South Koreans come to enjoy their most prosperous time they've ever seen. Life may not be "easy" for South Koreans, but they live much better than those to the north... in a system we can all agree is far better.
So, yeah, good going grandpa!  |

And the US saving Germany. How would it make you feel if you met Germans in Thailand listening blaring a song called, "American Idiot," on an IPOD with speakers and asking you why is it that English is the universal language instead of Deutsch? These college or gap year kids don't even know their history nor care.
I said, "Because America saved your asses from Hitler and allowed Germany and much of the world to have a democratic system that allows personal freedoms and more opportunities. If Hitler had taken over, then we'd all be speaking Deutsch instead of English, but likely we'd have little or no personal freedoms. Does that answer your question?"
Why don't Americans have special privileges in Germany and get treated with respect? It's as if Germany forgot. Same for Koreans. Many poorer countries do give Americans special respect, because they don't forget to easily when someone helps them, but not countries who rose to wealth and the kids have their heads up their asses into pop music and computer games who don't care about reading, history, nor listening to teachers.
The US helped many countries, not to simply help them, but to gain superiority and gain access to natural resources and human assets to further power the imperialist regime. I know that sounds awful, but it's the truth about her. Our interests lay in securing oil, allies, and financial wealth.
You only get special privileges and respect if you command the respect during your time period; not based off of a previous event. |

The Soviets had razed half of Berlin before the first American boot was on the ground, but yeah we gave them democracy sort of. Well about half of them until 1988. |

WTF? Americans and other allies bombed and destroyed most of Germany before invading it. Then they used hunger as a weapon to pacify the Germans, straving millions to death. Finally they sought to destroy German society throght mass-immigration and other means. Hardly anything to be grateful for. |

SMALL payback for what the Germans did in the war, especially on the Eastern front.
I kind of liked the Soviet approach. They lined up every single artillery piece they had, as close to each other as was possible and on the final offensive to the Reichstag, they opened up the artillery barrage for hours on every single mile of the front.
they still took horrid casualties.
and destroying German society thru immigration.
Don't effing make me laugh.
almost every piece of land that Germany had east of the Oder River was grabbed by conquest and then "settled" via ethnic cleansing. |

What does this have to do with the Germans being meant to feel grateful? Should people be grateful for (justified or otherwise) punishment? |
