Why We Should Withdraw Our Troops from Korea: Just the Latest Reason
GI Korea has an update on the case of a female American soldier who was sexually assaulted by a Korean soldier during an exercise. The soldier was found guilty. And how much time did he get? Zip. The 2 1/2 year sentence is an insult by itself, but the court suspended the entire sentence.
And people ask me why I consider Korean courts incompetent to try American soldiers. Granted, the assault ended when the young American woman gave her assailant a good smack, but this was an attempted rape. The crime showed preparation, specific intent, and a substantial step toward completion of the offense. This result is an outrage. This man should do time, and his name should be entered in a sex offender registry.
