You notice how every single S.Korean on the MDL is in that modded ready stance? It would suck being on duty up there, ready to go every single second of the day, not just ready to go like the SWAT, but ready to lay a beatdown right that instant. I will give props to those guards for defending their country.

This makes me think about my own situation. Ebbs mentions how the Korean military near him is kind of a joke but those guys at the border are badasses. The ROK at the DMZ aren't just there to collect a paycheck, but they're up there to protect their country. The JASDF aren't allowed to attack anything, JASDF can legally do nothing but defend their country and every single one of them looks they're ready to do just that.
