Here is a non-Korea stupid soldier story for everyone:
A 19-year-old U.S. Army soldier tried to steal a taxi at the Munich airport and then crashed it, Aug. 5, 2020, German police said.
A 19-year-old American soldier who is accused of trying to steal a taxi at Munich International Airport was thwarted by the car’s transmission, German police said.
The soldier, a member of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment based at Vilseck in Bavaria, was supposed to be flying back to the U.S. from Munich International Airport last week, regiment spokesman Maj. John Ambelang said.
Instead, he is accused of trying to take a Mercedes taxi for a spin after seeing the keys in the ignition and no one in the driver’s seat, said the Munich airport police, who are investigating the incident.
The soldier is also accused of assaulting the 50-year-old cab driver when he tried to stop him from taking the car, the police statement said.
You can read more at the link, but what an idiot. I will never understand what goes through people’s mind to think that while waiting for an airplane it is a good idea to go and steal a taxi cab?
I can only imagine what the call to the commander and first sergeant was like being told about this stupidity.
Fired deputy pastors, labor activists, lawyers (probably Minbyun) are trying to create a labor union for pastors, nuns. It's to be under the militant, pro-North Korea, pro-communist Korean Confederation of Trade Unions. Even the police is afraid of KCTU.https://t.co/oH4yOKf3PO
Congratulations to this taxi driver for becoming the new most hated man in Korea:
This image captured from YouTube shows the black box footage of a minor fender bender between a taxi and an ambulance that occurred in Seoul’s Gangdong-gu, June 8.
Public anger has been boiling up over a taxi driver who stopped an ambulance carrying an emergency patient from going to a hospital while demanding that the ambulance driver deal with a minor fender bender between the two cars first.
The minor collision occurred in Seoul’s southeastern Gangdong-gu, June 8. According to the son of the patient, the ambulance driver told the cabbie that he would settle the dispute after taking the patient to the hospital, but the cabbie kept demanding that the car accident be handled first and forced the ambulance to stay in the middle of the road.
While the two drivers quarreled for about 10 minutes, another ambulance arrived and took the patient, a lung cancer patient in her 80s. In the end, the patient died in the emergency room, five hours after she arrived at the hospital.
In a petition the son posted on the website run by the presidential office, he claimed the patient missed the so-called golden time needed for timely treatment due to the taxi driver.
An airman in Alaska was demoted and received a letter of reprimand for peeing in his squadron’s office coffee maker, among other violations of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice, according to documents from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
Formally charged as a violation of article 92, dereliction of duty, the unnamed airman “knew or should have known” to “refrain from urinating in the squadron coffee maker,” according to the redacted charge sheet provided by the base public affairs office. The incident occurred sometime between Jan. 1 and Oct. 31, 2019, but the document does not stipulate how the crime was discovered.
Does anyone see the irony of these protesters at Incheon International Airport?:
Calling for Abe to apologizeA delegation of South Korean citizens calls for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to apologize for his denial of Japan’s wartime atrocities and withdraw Tokyo’s retaliatory export curbs against South Korea at the Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul, on Aug 17, 2019 before leaving for China’s Manchuria and Russia for a mission to follow in the footsteps of Korean independence fighters during Japan’s 1910-45 colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula. (Yonhap)
They are calling for Prime Minister Abe to apologize for something he and other Japanese leaders have already apologized for. The irony of this is that after making a re-apology demand against Japan they then left to travel to China and Russia who have never apologized for their roles in the separation of the two Koreas, their attempt to destroy South Korea during the Korean War, and their continued support to the Kim regime who is committed to ending the ROK.
Maybe this was just how this guy was beating the heat 😉 :
Police are hunting for so-called “G-string man,” a man in his 20-30s who visited a coffee shop in Chungju wearing a G-string on July 17.
The investigation started after photos of the man ― wearing a black mask, a tight short-sleeved white shirt and a black G-string ― went viral online.
Police confirmed with CCTV footage that the man visited a coffee shop in the city’s west about noon on July 17. Investigators said he walked in, queued, ordered a drink, sipped it and left. He didn’t care about people’s attention and did nothing wrong in the shop, they said.
“A man in a G-string came in, ordered a drink and paid normally,” an investigator quoted a cafe employee as saying. “He left after drinking for a short time in the shop.”
Police say they plan to check his mental state if he is caught.
This story about an Army National Guard officer who stole a tracked vehicle and went joyriding in Virginia continues to get weirder:

The Army National Guard officer accused of stealing an armored personnel carrier from Fort Pickett last June is scheduled to go on trial May 20. But Joshua Yabut’s trial has been put on hold because the 30-year-old first lieutenant plans to plead not guilty by reason of insanity, according to WTVR. A new hearing in Nottoway County, Virginia, is set for July 2. Yabut is accused of stealing the military vehicle and leading police on a more than 60-mile chase to Richmond, Virginia, while under the influence of drugs. He said he had permission to take the APC, but Virginia National Guard officials denied that in initial reports.
Yabut’s case took another twist in January when he violated the terms of his bond and traveled to Iraq, somehow losing his ankle monitoring bracelet along the way.
He used his valid military ID to board a flight at Naval Station Norfolk before flying commercially from Charlotte, North Carolina, the rest of the way to Baghdad. He returned to Norfolk two days later, according to WTVR. His military ID is no longer valid and he was put back behind bars.
I wonder if this soldier was trying to take a selfie before he fell in?:

A soldier survived a 70-foot fall onto a ledge inside Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano this week after hopping a railing to get a better look at the crater. The 32-year-old Schofield Barracks soldier was on the Big Island as part of a training mission, Army officials told Hawaii News Now. He climbed over a permanent metal railing at the Steaming Bluff overlook to get closer to the edge of a 300-foot cliff and fell at about 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, according to a statement from Hawaii National Park.
Onlookers alerted the park staff right away, and about two and a half hours later the injured man was found on a narrow ledge about 70 feet from the cliff edge. Ropes and a litter were used to rescue him, according to the park. He was airlifted to the hospital in critical condition, but was upgraded to stable on Thursday, according to NPR.
