gotta love the adjoshis who woke up at 3 AM, just so they could at the airport at 5:20 AM to get their "yankee go home" chants in.

Hahaha, oh Jesus, thanks for the laugh! Just imagining that is so funny! Haha!

I think that nailing this guy is the first step. I think the politicians' sons are next. Some posters mentioned that an example is being made of this guy. I agree. I don't think it'll stop, though.

If I were a Korean I would never vote for someone that didn't do military service, or had their son(s) exempted.

Btw, I'm surprise the government doesn't force tattoo removal surgery on the draft dodgers that choose that road (the tattood back).

Seth Gecko,

Is that true? A tattoed back gets you exempt from military service? Is it just the back or would any tattoo do?

Interesting.

I know if you are the only son in a family where the father has died you are exempt.

What are some other exemptions?

matko,

there's a picture on the first (second?) page of this thread that shows the kinds of tattoos the draft dodgers get. Check it out. Also, this:

Sorry Seth, I had missed the post by J5

Still very interesting.

A friend of mine got kicked out of the Croatian army because they deemed him insane. He faked it to get out. Now, he can't get a job or a passport.

What a fool. It's amazing what some people will do to avoid service Rolling Eyes
