thanks for the discussion Irish_Dem.

I've been writing a blog about Korean military, politics, history and culture for last 3 years. It started out as practice translating the language. It still is really. I was lucky enough to be stationed in South Korea for almost three years and witness historic events there in Seoul and travel throughout the country.

Sorry to hear of your family's loss of your uncle. My uncle fought in the Bougainville campaign and was fortunate enough to survive. I was very close to him and now know he had ptsd and tbi, which was really little understood back then as far as I could tell.

I will just mention Tim Shorrock here, the Nation writer, who has a twitter blog, because his background is similar to yours.
