Well,,,

ROKA used to consider Koreans working for US orgs "miguk-nom ahp-jae-bi" and
treated them badly.  Vets of US orgs, including many of my comrades, were
often arrested, tortured and punished as draft dodgers, while the US looked
the other way.

Donald Nichols went back to Seoul a few years before his death and signed
documents testifying so and so had worked for him, hoping that ROK would
give the poor fellows some sort of a medal or much needed vet benefits.  No
such luck!   It is not that ROK does not know what they did, but rather, it
is the 'miguk-nom...' thing.   Why doesn't the US gov help these folks?

        Well, in response to my question last Friday to the Agency's Public
  Affairs Office asking what the Agency was doing to commemorate its
  involvement in the Korean War--and the Koreans who worked in JACK--I just
  found a msg on my tel machine from the Nice PA man.  The Agency's
  commemoration effort?  Nothing.
