South Korean Special Army soldiers perform martial arts during a rehearsal on Sept. 25 for Armed Forces Day.

Members of the South Korean military put on quite a show during a rehearsal ahead of the annual Armed Forces Day celebrations which takes place Oct. 1, the day that South-Korean forces broke through the 38th parallel during the Korean War.  The two Koreas remain technically at war since the Korean conflict was concluded with a truce rather than a peace treaty, and the day is a reminder of those who lost their lives during the war and those who are currently serving.

        No matter how skillful the Koreans are with martial art, they are no match to a bullet.
