28. Wartime Operational Control of Troops

Sangcheol's Diary Podcast_상철의 일기

Today is June 26, 2016. Sunday. Sixty six years ago when Korean war broke out, President Lee of Korean government gave away Korea's wartime operational control of troops to U.S. government. Since then, Korea has become the only country in the world without wartime operational control. If a war break out again in Korea, U.S. government will control Korean army and Korean soldiers have to follow U.S. President's orders. Two days agao, one of the opposition leaders pointed out that current government's security status is still dependet on U.S. government and defence-related corruptions are widespread like corruption heaven. However, ruling party spokewoman criticized him for his lack of security awareness and he is talking like a representative of North Korea. I do not know who is to blame for.
