I was in the middle of the case. I ordered the soldiers of the check point #3 to suppress defiant civilians who seized my uniform by the throat. I did not ordered to fire blank ammunition to the platoon leader, but he did following his own decision considering all the aspects of the situation.

The beaten threated us to bring the case to the national human right committee and blew it to some news media, including MBC Chuncheon. All the news media coverages seemed to be very biased; "How the military dare to aim civilians and fire even blank ammunition?" Responses about the news coverage was with the military. I counted 1075 replies that encouraged the military service men in the scene including me.

The commanding General Kim, Kwan-jin, TROKA sent me an encouraging letter and a watch imprinted with his job title inside the watch. MG Kim, Jong-hae awarded me.

I was recalled to the military police office to state the situation and causes of the occurrence. The military police forwarded the case to the police station. What I really want is that all the public actions based on law and regulations should be polited accepted and recognized.

Seeing Byung-hoon's death

Sergeant Song, Byung-hoon, a cable guy, was dead on 10 July 2006. I have not know him very much. What I knew about him was something that he came to my office to repair and check cables and communication. He looked a little bit less disciplined : mostly carrying no helmet, buckling no buttons even wearing helmets.

I don't have any special reason to show grief about his death because he was neither my friend nor one of my men following my orders. I just have seen him sometimes. What he brought him to my office was his mission, neither his personal interest nor friendship.

However, what makes me to write this essay is the current situation that ROKA has been faceing since the end of the Korean War. DMZ guard troops have been stationed along the southern boundary of DMZ for more than 50 years. Countless soldiers, sons of Korea, came to fulfill their mandatory service. All the people lived the front line say that things completely changed compared to the days they served. However, water pipe still go outside exposed to glacious cold of winter nights. Electric and communication wires fly over without protection against lighting and electric leaking.

Why SGT Song had to die? If we would have had buried electric wire underground, if we would have had pretty better infrastructure around the GOP, he would not have died. This accident intensified my convined opinion that low price should certainly pay in other ways. Good results come with good infrastructure. Budget saving should be consindered in many ways. If not, somebody should pay for very expensive price.

It's me!
