Clean the toilets again. Day after mind-numbing day. Then, have them do it in Korea where they can't speak the language and can only interact with Koreans whose full-time job is getting money from them any way they can. Among the decent, hard-working shopkeepers and other service providers are a large number of people that most other Koreans wouldn't even associate with. At least Koreans get to see other views o f US society in Hollywood movies, but the only view most of these young US GIs get of Koreans is one full of hookers, pushers, thieves, liars, and cheats.
Peace is hell.
Few Koreans, with their years of English classes and Hollywood movie and TV viewing, understand just how foreign Korea is to some young GI who has never even left his home state before and finds himself on an American island in Korea. She was a lawyer, fluent in Vietna mese, French, and English. He was a low-level office worker who had met her when he was fighting in Vietnam and got her out as Saigon fell. He constantly ridiculed her Korean language mistakes, insisted the family eat only Korean food, beat her, and treat ed her like a servant. Every trend is in the wrong direction.
