DPAA to Return Remains of 147 ROK Army Soldiers from the Korean War

147 remains of ROK Army veterans of the Korean War are finally returning home:

The largest repatriation of remains of South Korean soldiers who fought alongside U.S. troops in the Korean War is being held at 4 p.m. EDT today at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.

The soldiers’ remains are being returned to their homeland of South Korea after 67 years away, officials said.

“This, like the past repatriation, is due to the strong and long standing partnership between the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency and [South Korea’s] Ministry of National Defense Agency for KIA Recovery and Identification,” said Lee Tucker, spokesman for the Defense Prisoners of War/Missing in Action Accounting Agency, said. “It is the incredible improvements in technology, advancements in forensic science and the strong partnership between DPAA and MAKRI which led to these identifications.”

Scientists with DPAA and MAKRI have conducted joint forensic investigations and were able to validate these 147 remains as being of South Korean origin, according to a Pentagon statement.

I wonder what the real ruler of NK wants now that she’s turning over so many bargaining chips to SK.

Johnhenry, are you still yapping with some sort of opinion?

Go voice your opinion where it was requested and show us how “American” you are.

“dIt really bugs you magats, doesn’t it, that someone can have a different opinion of that horrible person in the White House now?”

But you don’t have an opinion.

An opinion can be clearly explained from every angle by the person who holds it because it is derived from the analysis of facts and it fits within the framework of their experience, ethics, and knowledge.

You are unable to do this.

So you don’t have an opinion.

You have indoctrination.

You cannot explain why the person in the White House is horrible and you are unable to suggest equally pro-American alternatives to his pro-American agenda items.

You have been told to think as you do and you have been shamed into not thinking otherwise. If you had formed your “opinion” on your own, it would be easy to explain yourself.

Instead, you avoid established facts and reasonable analysis. You appeal to emotion and try to make me the subject of the conversation. I am not the star of this show. What bugs me is not an issue.

Your reasons for hating Trump, your critique of his pro-American agenda, and your proposed alternatives to his programs are the topic.
