South Korea May Limit Burial of Veterans in National Cemeteries to Save Space for Candlelight Protesters

If it wasn’t bad enough that so called “meritorious persons” are receiving much more lavish government benefits than veterans, now certain veterans may not even be able to get buried in a national cemetery:

National Cemetery, ROK

A controversy surfaced when the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans pursued an initiative to cancel burial benefits for military veterans with less than 20 years service but more than 10 years service and instead make room for the burial of those who participated in candlelight protests and those designated as “Democracy Movement Meritorious Persons.”  This means certain military veterans will no longer be eligible to be buried at the national cemeteries. The Korean War Veterans Association and other veterans groups strongly opposed the move.

Sounds like the equivalent of the Screaming Trump Protester being buried in Arlington

It sounds like the Commie Moon Pie administration is trying trying to erase the Korean War and the 60+ years of the armistice from the memory of the people. It’s a shame the average Korean cannot or will not see what is happening. At least Park Chung Hee wasn’t on his knees for his buddies in the North.

Should rename it to the National Commie Cemetery.

Every election counts.

South Korea is receiving exactly what they voted for.

May God have mercy on them.
