ROK's secret commandos

The ROK army has a special forces unit more "elite" then the 707th SMB or the Tukong unit. These guys train almost as hard as the north korean special operatives themselves . And some of the teams manage to conduct successful operations against the n.koreans, probably mostly sabotage and intelligence. Unfortunetly, one of the teams trained to assassinate Kim-Il sung turned against their own govt. Its a very interesting read, pretty long too.

Great stuff, I have a lot of interest in Korea as I have known several Korean nationals.

I am aware that peace is desired so badly by the south that they plan a generous deal to get it. Still difficult to know why the north resists but I assume if is due to shutting down a large part of their military and the effects on PRNK as it shifts from military economy to industrial.

I'm glad you liked it.

Out of curiousity, is anyone interested in watching the movie? I know I am, I want to see them scarf down the human bones if they have it in the scene.


Edit- When DVDs come out they usually have foreign language subtitles including english. So you would understand what they're saying.
