I love kimchee, I love kimchee-I can't hear you, louder-I LOVE KIMCHEE!
While I served in the Army I met a man who'd been through Special Forces school, Delta Force selection, Ranger school, and the South Korean ranger school. He said the last one was by far the toughest and most frightening. He lost a toe and a fingertip during training; two guys in the company died.
The images remind me of the 'mud people' from Woodstock '94! The'mosh pit' looked rougher than these images do.Bottom line...teach peace..smile at one another...thats how were gonna save tomorrow!!
big boys abusing little girls - how shameful
Kim Il Jong never abused children like this.
hey libs its called a military camp. they know its not going to be a picnic. other than the mud looks like stuff we did in gym when i was a kid. this country has become a country of whining whoa is me pussies and its sad that our great military is dying for pussies like you
I would not subject my children to this. When our country was not the "whining whoa is me pussies" (and by the way, it's "woe", not "whoa") that you speak of, did we send our children to places like this? Of course not.
Uh, yea we do, there are many military summer camps in the U.S. I've seen many kids that need to go to camps like this to instill discipline in their nasty bodies. People like you, Rassmuss S., are the reason we are living in a weak and obese society. Man up, and grow some dude eggs, and for god sake take some initiative and responsibility for your children and yourself. The better you raise your children, the better off in life they will be.
I'm an American English teacher in South Korea. Some of my students who attend the camps come back so excited, and proud of how strong they've become. The kids are fed, cared for and attend the camps by choice. Or, at least all of mine did. Korean children have their own national holiday. These are NOT abused children. It sure beats teaching unmotivated, obese, whiny kids and their Purell wielding parents back in the states.
I wonder if after rolling in the mud for a few days if their skin became soft and healthy looking?
I think military school camps for kids are very helpful for the children as it educate them about military standards. These military schools provide tutoring programs at very low cost. Teenagers having financial issues can also apply for these accredited military programs. Thanks for giving the information about summer camp programs for teenagers.
