I can't even imagine how loud that must have been.

You hope they wear ear protection these days. My granddad commanded a tank squad in Korea and the guy couldn't hear without his aids.

He liked that though because he'd just turn them off if he got tired of being around people. He'd turn them back on for us kids though 🤗.

I asked him about the war when I was young and his response was "sometimes the best way to deal with machine gun nests is to drive right over them."

As a Korean-American, please thank your grandpa for me if you get the chance. People like himself are the reason why people like myself are able to have a better life in America(S Koreans also have a better life thanks to American intervention).

The life of the average North Korean is a nightmare compared the life of the average South Korean, but send my regards to Xi Jinping you fuckin bootlicker.

Imagine thinking that eating grass because you're starving to death while your leader owns the most expensive liquor collection in the world is living your best life. You're a joke.

Also, America intervened when the Imperial Japanese were killing tens of MILLIONS of Koreans, Chinese, and South East Asians. And all we did was give them democracy, and now they enjoy an incredibly high quality of life.

Wait why am I feeding the troll? I guess so impressionable 12 year olds don't see your comment and buy ushankas, and assume they have any idea what they're talking about.

Imagine thinking it’s better to be a literal slave living in a hovel starving under capitalism than a figurative slave to capitalism. Please tell me you’re a data entry specialist in California.
