korean army dispatch to lebannon as UN peacekeeper NEXT MONTH.
400~500 troops
hm,,,personally i dont wanna rok army send to there

do we ROK army even have a choice?

That depends. Do we want to become a leader in international stage or remain an outsider?

What gun is that? I looks like a modified K-2. They're sending special forces?

edit: oh wait they ARE special forces lol

That is K1A assault rifle with low and high Picattiny-type RAS rail featuring a fore-grip handle and a holographic optic sight. Top of the flash-suppressor is non-visible laser aim point, invisible to the nake eye. The gear on the helmet is PVS-04K night-vision system designed to work in conjunction with the laser aim point.

Starting in advance unit arrived first in lebannon

A Lebanese soldier (L), walks in front of South Korean UN peacekeeper upon their arrival at Rafik Hariri International Airport in Beirut, Lebanon, 05 July 2007. About sixty-one South Korean soldiers arrived in Beirut to take part in the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon

It's going to be difficult. There were some roadside bombs that went off.

Five peacekeepers were killed when a bomb exploded beside a United Nations convoy in southern Lebanon yesterday.

The assault on a contingent from the Spanish army, occurred near the Shia Lebanese village of Khiam, just four miles north of the Israel city of Metulla.

so pointless :\

It's good to see S. Korea is expanding it's peace keeping effort. To me I rather see Koreans in peace keeping force than Chinese or Japanese, I don't trust Chinese & Japanese. They might do something bad there, you know they are mostly cunning.

who do you rather see dead..

UN peacekeeper korean soldier in lebannon


receive briefing of information

correct, coz chinese troops there are trained to kill to secure its interest not peacekeepin.


head shot... feel the 5.8mm fresh bullet.

"Secure its interests" by gunning down mobs of unarmed protesters and civilians and crushing them with tanks and APCs? Boy, that's a "fresh" idea, right there.

u sure knew us well for the last 2000 years, if wasnt for japan china would probably completely turning into a largest NAZI state in the world?

naw, u gotta give the credit to the communists

Is it proud?

So what you are basically saying is that, without Japan, China would have become Nazi times five?

What the hell does that have to do with the Chinese gunning down and crushing protesters with armored fighting vehicles?

so is not tat strange to see chinese hardcore troops killing innocent civilians, in fact is normal. Remember Tiananment square incident in 1989? tats just a little showcase to the west how hardcore chinese troops can be.

"Hardcore" by killing unarmed civilians? Just how "hardcore" can troops be against targets that can't resist?

Kicking a puppy around is more hardcore than shooting unarmed civilians.

^Dismembering ants is even more hardcore.

So how will the 'hardcore' PLA fare when their opposition actually shoots back........total rout??? hmmm..?

they say usama ben ladin feared the chinese army. thats why we made the taliban to protect himself from the chicoms after the ruscoms

just sitting on your as.s and letting your immune system kill off foreign microbes is the most hardcore.

my boyfriend's team will be dispatched to lebanon next month T_T
i don't even want to think about it...
