As a South Korean citizen, I totally agree with deploying the THAAD in south korea. Most of the South korean citizens think that the friendship between US & SK is very precious.
Dog friendship between US and South Korea? ? how funny hahha I wish your young generation had human brain ... lol you country living under the US ... wtf friendship about ? your governments can't even get breakfast without US permission.. ffs
Qalbe Hassan war never change, it will always happened. Can all peoples can be friendly, and peoples accept each other. Can it be no war, and all become one? Can that be possible? My answer is no. War happened, protesting alway happened, people argue never ends, fighting internet never change. Hating on someone, is the same thing on hating country. Its a cycle, war will never end.
We.. most of all Korean think the US is very helpful to us, and want say “Thanks very much” to them. The civilians in this video is only a small group.
TheGazKnight and it’s because of people like yourself that Americans would gladly shed their blood to help you should hostilities escalate. I’d gladly join the US Army should hostilities get to a point where a draft is needed to fight side by side with my FREE South Korean brothers and sisters against the tyrannical forces of the north.
@@jason_bloho3272 yeah A true dumbass he is isn't he So much so I guess that fighting for others freedoms and sacrificing your own so that others can see the light of day is very stupid and idiotic huh You have no idea what people go through just to help out many I myself am joining the u.s army next year to be in the supply unit Helping civilians and giving support to the comrades I will gladly give my all
@@Joedem92 i salute to you sir I myself am joining the military, specifically the ARMY branch I will become part of the supply unit specialist 92Y Give support and help out civilians If you eventually join I'd gladly support you by your side
I mean it shuts out the possibility of a spy learning about military installations and secret weapons systems and sending their information to the enemy
Welit Tunhapong Or: they don't want to open up military installations to anyone except specified military personnel that they have vetted, to avoid espionage by enemy operatives.
The villagers are like we thought living in a rural area would make us safe. Well, not if said area is as close as possible to the most dangerous country in the world.
the joke is tired, we get it america commits needless aggression and terrible acts. and america is far from perfect, but please stop understating the suffering of people in legitimately awful countries, by joking around about america doing dumb shit.
I don't think anyone laughs at the 'dumb shit' America does, according to UN figures 82 Million people were killed by the US between 1950 and 2005, half a million children died as a result of US sanctions against Iraq according to UNICEF, etc.etc. The military is the single biggest cause of pollution on the planet, according to an environmental study - no mate there is little humour in the plague that it brings to the world
Do not be fooled by the anti-US protests in south Korea it's not a prevalent thing, just an old anti-US propaganda by a small minority of far-left extremists. Most south Koreans including myself approve THAAD and appreciate American presence on our soil. I support the US-ROK alliance please defend our country from Rocket Man and the evil communists.
Marcus thank u. I serve 1 year tour in SK as wheel vehicle mechanic. that old lady 12:18 make me feel like my service was in vain protecting ppl that hate us.
When I spent my year there the I asked one of the katusas about the protests, he told me don't worry about them we got your back they're just a bunch of commies lol
These are small groups that refuse U.S. Most of Korean can't forget any sacrifices of U.S soldiers to protect South Korea as well as me. I really appreciate all things that U.S army did for South Korea.
It appears that these villagers care more about their own peace and quiet then they do the protection of their country. These villagers seem very selfish and care little about their fellow citizens. Those batteries are deployed to intercept incoming missiles heading towards them. I just don't see the point in protesting something that's there to help you. These villagers seem to think that this is being done to militarize their country and draw them into a war. News flash, the US and South Korean governments aren't creating this crisis, it's the North Korean Regime's insistence on creating nuclear weapons. North Korea is creating this instability and fear.
Ed E Well if the citizens don’t want it why is it there? What if Russia decides to put one in your neighborhood how would you feel? The US needs to stop getting into people business and worry about their own.
I don't see your logic. The missiles were put there to help deter or defend an attack by North Korea. The missiles are there for the sake of the country's safety and well being. If some elderly aren't happy about that, too bad. A few versus the many. And yes if the Russians came to my neighborhood and offered some assistance to keep my country safe, I would appreciate their assistance. This has nothing to do with the US asserting dominance over another country or region, it is a gesture of good will.
What a biased report! I know this is an old post, but as a South Korean, I feel compelled to straighten up the story. This report is not only biased, but it’s also poor on the facts. 1. The villagers (farmers), are hateful of outsiders all together (and not just the American military as grandma made it sound like in the interview). The then opposing political party made the introduction of THAAD to Korea, a major political issue, and thus protestors in thousands stormed this once quiet tiny little peaceful village. Some of these protestors were delusional hippies coming from all parts of the country, but most are sympathizers of the North Korean regime (yes it’s crazy, but we have the kind). Now add that to folks from the US and Korean military trying to setup shop there, riot police trying to block the protestors from throwing rocks at soldiers, national and international news crew trying to cover the story = SHIT SHOW. Of course grandma wants to go back to the old days. 2. Because the powerful X-band radar (an integral part of the THAAD system), points north and north west, it not only has a missile detection range that covers the whole of North Korea, it can easily be repositioned to detect what is going on in China. THAAD is going to be operated by the US military. The reason I say this report is biased is not only because the reporter failed to interview folks on both sides, it is absolutely non-sense that one talks about this issue without the diplomatic fall-out between China and South Korea because of THAAD. Because China has limited if any leverage over the US, it first blackmailed, and then executed sanctions against South Korea, in hopes that the South Korean government would halt the setup. Many big South Korean business ventures in China suffered as a result. 3. At a national level, the vast majority of South Koreans do not oppose THAAD. Many are concerned due to China’s economic retaliation, but even so, most think it is a necessary cost to pay.
@@junghoonkim-nyc That's really true. I'm Korean, too. The majority of South Koreans do not oppose THAAD. The villagers are agitated by leftists. The leftists are mainly environmental activists. As usual, they are much more interested in leftist agitation than in the environment. Korean people generally hate environmental groups very much. Because we well aware of their leftist and hypocritical behavior over the decades.
It would make Korea safer, I'm a soldier here and the DPRK does not like America. DPRK and ROK are trying to come together. When America leaves that means Korea would not be attacked.
They are an invaluable foothold within the northeast Asia region, and our only main base on the mainland in the region. The real benefit of the base is to provide America and its allies a forward operating base for inevitable conflict with China. Also, if you think that the Chinese and Russians "left NK long ago" then you are blind. While they do not have direct military installations, to our knowledge, in NK, they provide invaluable assistance and have proven unwilling to actually want to stop NK nuclear ambitions, despite direct threats to destroy America. The alliance between SK and America is like any other alliance in history, it's strategic and only exists for each nation's own interests. America has spent countless treasure on defending SK for the last 60+ years, meanwhile SK has chosen to take this for granted and just focused on their economy instead of national defense. At the end of the day, they are a strategic asset and it's always preferable that Seoul be attacked over any American city.
Nathan Soumphonphakdy - I'm guessing you must be a SK soldier? Otherwise you completely lack any foresight into the US military's policy. I feel sorry for the SK if they truly think a reunification at nuclear gunpoint would be beneficial to them. In the end it just means becoming a Chinese protectorate.
I bet if there was a missile flying over/into South Korea...all the sudden the THAAD would be celebrated real quick. I do understand why they don't want it in their village. Anyone would be like "why my town" still it has to go somewhere, and I'm sure there was strategic thought behind the decision of location.
THAAD is defence against long distance missles. Also having THAAD in their village has now made it a military target where previously it would not have been endangered by attacks. If anything they've been more endangered due to the introduction of THAAD. Also you don't care about free choice, and the voice of the peopel?
Todorius protecting the people comes first over their voices from what I learned in History and the villagers should be moved elsewhere if it's permanent. Have you not learnt anything from the Korean war? NK would use anything against its enemy to attack to go as far as digging under them to come from behind so the thought of village is not a target would be a nonsensical idea if you don't understand the Art of War.
Phalanx CIWS would be a better choise against 11k artillery units along the NK/SK border. Although the ammount of them would need to be equal if not more to really help
Sarah Carter Sarah... SK forces are very tech and well trained...and are likely some of the most potent in Asia. NK forces would likely be decimated by SK if they released missiles. When looking at the massive concentration and hardware on the northern border, there is no sneak attack available. The US is not required in SK anymore and it is pretty clear when speaking to most SK, there is little concern regarding NK missiles.
I'm also soldier here in Korea. And when she walked up the mountain to the THAAD location... smh... maybe if they get a closer look it'll be to close and THAAD shoots off and they get injured from the backlash.
Im up in Yongsan, civilians are able to get on post hence how all these contractors and even PX workers are able to work. Like any military post even in the states, if you wanna bring in a civilian you would just sign her in and they take here ID at the gate. Its a pretty common thing.
3:08 "Today there are 28000 US troops in South Korea, the third-largest US military presence overseas after Japan and Germany" Some facts: Japan GDP: 5.082 trillion. (3rd largest) Germany GDP: 4.00 trillion (4th largest) South Korea GDP: 1.9 trillion (10th largest) (54 times greater than North Korea) I'd not complain if my country had a US alliance tbh.
I was stationed in the DMZ back in 07-08 and never had a bad experience with the locals like that older lady asking the U.S. to get out. I respect her view but I do think they are safer with us there. They would be run down by the North if it wasn't for the coalition forces. I've seen it first hand the bridges ready to explode and collapse onto Southbound Tanks. It Sad anyway to see these people of the North Starve to death
South Korea spends 29 times more on its defence budget than North Korea does. Coincidentally, that is literally the exact ratio of U.S. defence spending to Canadian defence spending, just to give some perspective on how large that is. (US, CAN 2017) I think people can simultaneously hold the position that American bases and military presence in South Korea is overwhelmingly popular, beneficial and provides deterence/reassurance, while also not having delusions that the South Korean military would be helpless to a North Korean onslaught. It just seems really really disrespectful and condescending to South Korea, it's like saying that the US is based in Germany to make sure that Belarus doesn't simultaneously invade France, Germany, Spain, Italy and naval invade UK and paradrop London all of this happening on the same day. Like come on. The biggest benefit of the US being there in terms of what would actually happen in wartime, would be to surge lots of combat aircraft to do maximum amounts of sorties and ISTAR to destroy North Korean MLRS and artillery, that's the biggest threat to South Korea. South Korea is assured to win and may even win with relativley low military casualties, but their weakness is that they have no strategic depth and their major population centers are all in the firing line to North Korean MLRS and artillery.
Im a Korean. And I am truly thankful to the service of US soldier defending our nation and people against threat from the north. The video is not telling what most of Korean think.

I love how she just avoided the question in regards to the US's presence keeping South Korea safer, my god it's amazing how ignorant and dumb they are behaving. The US army is there literally to protect your whole country, even if they go to war by their own decision, South Korea would lose much less lives in the process than what they would without them.

If the US was not there, NK would have taken over SK long long ago. SK would be in an even worse position without the US military there... There would be almost no businesses there. Who would be buying from them?
you need to take that piece of shit you call a brain out of the gutter and have an education. america wants a war whether North Korea have nuclear weapons or not..like a parasite,they need to be killed and flushed out of this planet
Agree, look at what had happened to Vietnam. SAD!!!!!! Thanks God for US, please protect us from crazy Communist (China, Cuba, NK, Russia). If there was no US, human race would be on the path of becoming extinction pieces.
They don't support Kim. If they did they would have posters of Kim and propaganda love for the North Korean Liberation Army. The elderly in Korea has faced a lot of tensions between the U.S. Military and North Korea which always pisses them off. The THAAD can't do anything (except shoot down nukes and missiles) It can't protect Seoul or any of their valuable cities. That's what the elderly think, the young doesn't obviously care but they're few who were taught about war from their grand parents. So all South Koreans aren't supporters of Kim.
They just don't want the THAAD in their village and all the military presence surrounding it because it makes them a target in the case of war. North Korea's top priority would be to launch a preemptive strike to destroy these missile defense systems before carrying out a full on ballistic strike on Seoul and the largest military installations. If they hadn't deployed these countermeasures here, the unassuming village would have no strategic merits for attacking it from NK's perspective.
Thank you for the good report. For balance, please find and interview more old people who are more knowledgeable and know that the Korean War was the north's attempt to conquer and take over the south and, aside from Un's priority which is just to stay in power, he would do so if the US military was not there. I served in the Army at the original Camp Humphryrs from 1967 to 1969 when it was only a medium cargo helicopter company.
Al gebra Yes, but the resulting government and economy benefited the south. I didn't voluntarily join to "fight," and the US has remained there after the truce as guard duty and the DMZ was not peaceful as it is today. About once a month there was an incident that resulted in at least one dead ROK soldier or American.
Al gebra I'm opposed to the US's wars starting with Vietnam and the military interventions both covert and overt and the military presence in countries that destabilizes the areas and is a catalyst for making enemies of America.
South Koreans, I mean elders, or villagers should at least appreciate what U.S. did so far, because if let's take the Korean War situation back in the 1950s, U.S. saved South Korea from Communist invasion of North, which means South Koreans were at least liberated, and not controlled by Kim's family
The South Korean people should have the right to say if the want the THADD near their homes. It's necessary, yes, but it should be placed in an area that's near by, but remote to villagers. You can't just fight a war with might, you need the legit hearts and minds of the people, especially the people near your shit that keeps you alive. No need to have a Vietnam scaled conflict.
I would be happy to sacrifice for the overall wellbeing now if they aren't that is their issue but aside from that the installation of the weapon is just like any other building cuz either way if the weapon wasn't placed in that village it would eventually get raided and pillaged during an invasion.
Haha he’s right we all nuke each other then aliens come right in make any survivors slaves maybe cross breed to make alien human hybrids clean everything up then establish a new advance civilization
I love how this reporter says certain things to make both governments (which both are protecting all the people) out to be bad guys because they are not allowing people to walk in certain areas and they are making noise in once was a quite town. Do the protesters and this reporter not know how many lives are at stake if the govt was not here.
As a South Korean, having the US as an ally has benefited SK. However, war is not an option in my opinion as there will be heavy casualties for all parties involved. They key is to educate the North Korean citizens about the war crimes their dear leaders has caused since the armistice. The citizens of North Korea has had access to more information through technology and is one of the reasons that many are defectors and live in South Korea. If we can have more defectors civilians and military personnel from North Korea, we would essentially reduce their military power overall and have more insight to North Korea. Lol destroy them within.
Without the THAAD many people would die, the THAAD is protecting them and not harming them and they should learn who helped S.Korea in the korean war (USA). They are talking like they are trained and ready for war but actually not.
Kurdistan Romania SK don't want war America is the one forcing them to do these stupid military operations because America live to fight in wars because war means money to America corporations.
Not a Gandhi yes they should but they won't, as soon as the US steps away from its position of "peace keeper" another country will step into its place and abuse its power just like the US
I'm a typical South Korean, served 23 months in the Navy just like others and I can sure that anti-US protesters are deeply involved with NLPDR, which is a political ideology and its heelers that agree with North Korea's rule. and they're also minority(maybe 1 to 3 percents) of South Korean. Most of South Korean agree with THAAD and other military assets from US. They insist they're locals but most of them are involved with false resident registration.
Unlike the villagers, Koreans who live in Seoul are in favor of the U.S. military presence. Interesting how opinions differs in different areas of the country.

I don`t understand why South Korean villagers are protesting deployment of THAAD and the U.S. military forces in South Korea. The purpose of them is to defend South Korea against North Korea`s ballistic missiles and invasion. Don`t they understand they`re under constant threat of North Korea? Or do they think North Korea`s brutal rule is much more preferable?
They have North Korean agents and propagandists working to disrupt South Korean politics.. It's nothing new. Most South Koreans don't think this way. It's just a propaganda.
MrEjidorie Because those people are tired of war you idiot! They lived through the Korean War and maybe the Japanese occupation. They've had enough. You wouldn't know that because you live in your safe neighbourhood with no worries. That's what idiots like you don't unederstand
+MegaJordan691 >You wouldn't know that because you live in your safe neighbourhood with no worries. North Korean ballistic missiles had overflown my country twice in the past few weeks, and I don`t live in a safe neighborhood with no worries. In fact, my people are very concerned about the outbreak of war in the Korean peninsula, and we couldn`t be bystanders. As countermeasures against incoming North Korean ballistic missiles, we`re willing to offer lands for Aegis Ashore and THAAD.
The US does not want to leave as their only ally in Asia Pacific is South Korea lol. If they left SK, they have no control over Asia, hence having a massive base overseas. The US tactically moved in and set bases in Japan and SK. Im thankful for US being there and US troops serving our country, however, there are other reasons why the US hasn't left and kept building upon their military assets in SK and Japan. If taking out Kim Jong Un would make things better, it would have already been done, but its more complex than that.
rgdstranger A day will come when Kim will be tried in a court of Seoul and then would be dragged onto the streets of Pyongyang, were the angered people will beat their supreme leader brutally and mercilessly to death
Its another proxy war. The global leaders play chess with imaginary country lines. The ones that suffer are the people while the leaders sit comfortably and play the sport of war. If i could id slay them all. A good burning would be great
My father fought in Korea , he told me about the horrors that north Korea perpetrated on everyone in the border area ,those villagers forget the horror of the war , the north will steam roll them , My Korean American friends even agree and fear for the anti war protesters if they get stupid during a conflict, i am a Sicilian American buddhist and i see the idiocy of their protests.kim jung is a metally ill dictator.
oh ok, is there a way to be citizen american to be in the military. i believe in america force army to enforce world peace. i would love to be one of the best to serve in the USA military
AKBAAR The only way to become a citizen is to legally migrate to the US, learn English, and pretty much do whatever you are told for about 8 years or more. By then you might or might not lose interest. I really don't know
The reason these elder villagers have a life at all is because the US ARMY is present. While I feel for them, if it wasn't for OUR sacrifices as a nation, THERE WOULD BE NO REPUBLIC OF KOREA (south).
I love AJ+ but I had to dislike this video It is not balanced. If the US left S Korea today Kim would invade tomorrow. I understand the villagers feel they have to do something but any village N Korea that tried to protest would be massacred. If the S. Korean military moved villagers without proper compensation then they have a very legitimate issue but if S. Korea was left defenseless the villagers would learn the meaning of a true despot under the Kim dynasty.
I agree with Vietnam and see where you come from with Korea, but the south koreans actually wanted a change. Most of the south vietnamese didn't really care about the cause.

Yo they litiraly talking about potential war but naah yall wont some god damn insta account from a freaking reporter oook
D-did you not realize what this video is abt?
These are small groups that refuse U.S. Most of Korean can't forget any sacrifices of U.S soldiers to protect South Korea as well as me. I really appreciate all things that U.S army did for South Korea.
It appears that these villagers care more about their own peace and quiet then they do the protection of their country. These villagers seem very selfish and care little about their fellow citizens. Those batteries are deployed to intercept incoming missiles heading towards them. I just don't see the point in protesting something that's there to help you. These villagers seem to think that this is being done to militarize their country and draw them into a war. News flash, the US and South Korean governments aren't creating this crisis, it's the North Korean Regime's insistence on creating nuclear weapons. North Korea is creating this instability and fear.
Ed E Well if the citizens don’t want it why is it there? What if Russia decides to put one in your neighborhood how would you feel? The US needs to stop getting into people business and worry about their own.
I don't see your logic. The missiles were put there to help deter or defend an attack by North Korea. The missiles are there for the sake of the country's safety and well being. If some elderly aren't happy about that, too bad. A few versus the many. And yes if the Russians came to my neighborhood and offered some assistance to keep my country safe, I would appreciate their assistance. This has nothing to do with the US asserting dominance over another country or region, it is a gesture of good will.
What a biased report! I know this is an old post, but as a South Korean, I feel compelled to straighten up the story. This report is not only biased, but it’s also poor on the facts.
1. The villagers (farmers), are hateful of outsiders all together (and not just the American military as grandma made it sound like in the interview). The then opposing political party made the introduction of THAAD to Korea, a major political issue, and thus protestors in thousands stormed this once quiet tiny little peaceful village. Some of these protestors were delusional hippies coming from all parts of the country, but most are sympathizers of the North Korean regime (yes it’s crazy, but we have the kind). Now add that to folks from the US and Korean military trying to setup shop there, riot police trying to block the protestors from throwing rocks at soldiers, national and international news crew trying to cover the story = SHIT SHOW. Of course grandma wants to go back to the old days.
2. Because the powerful X-band radar (an integral part of the THAAD system), points north and north west, it not only has a missile detection range that covers the whole of North Korea, it can easily be repositioned to detect what is going on in China. THAAD is going to be operated by the US military. The reason I say this report is biased is not only because the reporter failed to interview folks on both sides, it is absolutely non-sense that one talks about this issue without the diplomatic fall-out between China and South Korea because of THAAD. Because China has limited if any leverage over the US, it first blackmailed, and then executed sanctions against South Korea, in hopes that the South Korean government would halt the setup. Many big South Korean business ventures in China suffered as a result.
3. At a national level, the vast majority of South Koreans do not oppose THAAD. Many are concerned due to China’s economic retaliation, but even so, most think it is a necessary cost to pay.
@@junghoonkim-nyc That's really true. I'm Korean, too.
The majority of South Koreans do not oppose THAAD.
The villagers are agitated by leftists. The leftists are mainly environmental activists. As usual, they are much more interested in leftist agitation than in the environment.
Korean people generally hate environmental groups very much.
Because we well aware of their leftist and hypocritical behavior over the decades.

That is some top of the line, kickass reporting right there, hats off to the Host, the cameraman and the team. You guys have a long way to go!!

I'm fine with the US leaving Korea as it would save us money but to say it would make Korea safer is laughable.
and the fact the Chinese and Soviets (now Russians) left NK long ago
no name the fact that russia is no longer communist
It would make Korea safer, I'm a soldier here and the DPRK does not like America. DPRK and ROK are trying to come together. When America leaves that means Korea would not be attacked.
They are an invaluable foothold within the northeast Asia region, and our only main base on the mainland in the region. The real benefit of the base is to provide America and its allies a forward operating base for inevitable conflict with China. Also, if you think that the Chinese and Russians "left NK long ago" then you are blind. While they do not have direct military installations, to our knowledge, in NK, they provide invaluable assistance and have proven unwilling to actually want to stop NK nuclear ambitions, despite direct threats to destroy America.
The alliance between SK and America is like any other alliance in history, it's strategic and only exists for each nation's own interests. America has spent countless treasure on defending SK for the last 60+ years, meanwhile SK has chosen to take this for granted and just focused on their economy instead of national defense. At the end of the day, they are a strategic asset and it's always preferable that Seoul be attacked over any American city.
Nathan Soumphonphakdy - I'm guessing you must be a SK soldier? Otherwise you completely lack any foresight into the US military's policy. I feel sorry for the SK if they truly think a reunification at nuclear gunpoint would be beneficial to them. In the end it just means becoming a Chinese protectorate.
I bet if there was a missile flying over/into South Korea...all the sudden the THAAD would be celebrated real quick. I do understand why they don't want it in their village. Anyone would be like "why my town" still it has to go somewhere, and I'm sure there was strategic thought behind the decision of location.
THAAD is defence against long distance missles. Also having THAAD in their village has now made it a military target where previously it would not have been endangered by attacks. If anything they've been more endangered due to the introduction of THAAD. Also you don't care about free choice, and the voice of the peopel?
Todorius protecting the people comes first over their voices from what I learned in History and the villagers should be moved elsewhere if it's permanent. Have you not learnt anything from the Korean war? NK would use anything against its enemy to attack to go as far as digging under them to come from behind so the thought of village is not a target would be a nonsensical idea if you don't understand the Art of War.
Phalanx CIWS would be a better choise against 11k artillery units along the NK/SK border. Although the ammount of them would need to be equal if not more to really help
Sarah Carter
Sarah...
SK forces are very tech and well trained...and are likely some of the most potent in Asia. NK forces would likely be decimated by SK if they released missiles. When looking at the massive concentration and hardware on the northern border, there is no sneak attack available.
The US is not required in SK anymore and it is pretty clear when speaking to most SK, there is little concern regarding NK missiles.
AJ+: People in USA are in a heightened state of panic.
USA: *Meme'ing and roasting the shit out of NK*
6:07 I thought forcing people to cry for propaganda was a NK tactic

I HOPE THERE WILL BE PEACE!
I'm a military soldier in Korea. How is she allowed in humphreys? If you know what I'm talking about. How can a civilian allowed to enter the base?
I'm guessing its allowed by the commander for press/PR?
I mean have you seen all those guys? They are super horny and trying not to show it!
I'm also soldier here in Korea. And when she walked up the mountain to the THAAD location... smh... maybe if they get a closer look it'll be to close and THAAD shoots off and they get injured from the backlash.
Im up in Yongsan, civilians are able to get on post hence how all these contractors and even PX workers are able to work. Like any military post even in the states, if you wanna bring in a civilian you would just sign her in and they take here ID at the gate. Its a pretty common thing.
I was about to ask that question
3:08
"Today there are 28000 US troops in South Korea, the third-largest US military presence overseas after Japan and Germany"
Some facts:
Japan GDP: 5.082 trillion. (3rd largest)
Germany GDP: 4.00 trillion (4th largest)
South Korea GDP: 1.9 trillion (10th largest) (54 times greater than North Korea)
I'd not complain if my country had a US alliance tbh.

1:13 oh my god i think i have a new crush
I was stationed in the DMZ back in 07-08 and never had a bad experience with the locals like that older lady asking the U.S. to get out. I respect her view but I do think they are safer with us there. They would be run down by the North if it wasn't for the coalition forces. I've seen it first hand the bridges ready to explode and collapse onto Southbound Tanks. It Sad anyway to see these people of the North Starve to death
South Korea spends 29 times more on its defence budget than North Korea does. Coincidentally, that is literally the exact ratio of U.S. defence spending to Canadian defence spending, just to give some perspective on how large that is. (US, CAN 2017)
I think people can simultaneously hold the position that American bases and military presence in South Korea is overwhelmingly popular, beneficial and provides deterence/reassurance, while also not having delusions that the South Korean military would be helpless to a North Korean onslaught.
It just seems really really disrespectful and condescending to South Korea, it's like saying that the US is based in Germany to make sure that Belarus doesn't simultaneously invade France, Germany, Spain, Italy and naval invade UK and paradrop London all of this happening on the same day. Like come on.
The biggest benefit of the US being there in terms of what would actually happen in wartime, would be to surge lots of combat aircraft to do maximum amounts of sorties and ISTAR to destroy North Korean MLRS and artillery, that's the biggest threat to South Korea. South Korea is assured to win and may even win with relativley low military casualties, but their weakness is that they have no strategic depth and their major population centers are all in the firing line to North Korean MLRS and artillery.
Don't go to war, because war will bring nothing but blood of your own people while other will laugh at you.

I love how she just avoided the question in regards to the US's presence keeping South Korea safer, my god it's amazing how ignorant and dumb they are behaving. The US army is there literally to protect your whole country, even if they go to war by their own decision, South Korea would lose much less lives in the process than what they would without them.

If the US was not there, NK would have taken over SK long long ago. SK would be in an even worse position without the US military there... There would be almost no businesses there. Who would be buying from them?
you need to take that piece of shit you call a brain out of the gutter and have an education. america wants a war whether North Korea have nuclear weapons or not..like a parasite,they need to be killed and flushed out of this planet
SK would've been wiped out if its not because of US and UN troops back in korean war
Loyda Coulombe and kicking the ever enlarging powder keg down the road is sure making that area safer thats for sure
Agree, look at what had happened to Vietnam. SAD!!!!!! Thanks God for US, please protect us from crazy Communist (China, Cuba, NK, Russia). If there was no US, human race would be on the path of becoming extinction pieces.
I have no idea if this is satire or not, you kinda did a massive 180 in the middle of your comment.
wow there are some kim jong un supporters in south korea
They don't support Kim. If they did they would have posters of Kim and propaganda love for the North Korean Liberation Army. The elderly in Korea has faced a lot of tensions between the U.S. Military and North Korea which always pisses them off. The THAAD can't do anything (except shoot down nukes and missiles) It can't protect Seoul or any of their valuable cities. That's what the elderly think, the young doesn't obviously care but they're few who were taught about war from their grand parents. So all South Koreans aren't supporters of Kim.
They just don't want the THAAD in their village and all the military presence surrounding it because it makes them a target in the case of war. North Korea's top priority would be to launch a preemptive strike to destroy these missile defense systems before carrying out a full on ballistic strike on Seoul and the largest military installations. If they hadn't deployed these countermeasures here, the unassuming village would have no strategic merits for attacking it from NK's perspective.
Thank you for the good report. For balance, please find and interview more old people who are more knowledgeable and know that the Korean War was the north's attempt to conquer and take over the south and, aside from Un's priority which is just to stay in power, he would do so if the US military was not there. I served in the Army at the original Camp Humphryrs from 1967 to 1969 when it was only a medium cargo helicopter company.
Al gebra Yes, but the resulting government and economy benefited the south. I didn't voluntarily join to "fight," and the US has remained there after the truce as guard duty and the DMZ was not peaceful as it is today. About once a month there was an incident that resulted in at least one dead ROK soldier or American.
Al gebra I'm opposed to the US's wars starting with Vietnam and the military interventions both covert and overt and the military presence in countries that destabilizes the areas and is a catalyst for making enemies of America.
Unfortunately you're never ready.
Hi verify person
One question why are the “allies” revealing their strategies ?
9:07 cracked me up.. the guy is so obsessed with them South Korean TV Drama Series.. 😂😂😂😂🙌🏼
4:08 That face when someone farted in the tank

12:36 she was sweet old lady. Then she started cussing.
As a American we have no problem Uniting both koreas under South Korean leadership We support the Rok and their citizens
You are doing good. Thanks for showing the world what exactly happening in South Korea.
South Koreans, I mean elders, or villagers should at least appreciate what U.S. did so far, because if let's take the Korean War situation back in the 1950s, U.S. saved South Korea from Communist invasion of North, which means South Koreans were at least liberated, and not controlled by Kim's family
It's because of the US the North is the way it is both north and south want unification
The South Korean people should have the right to say if the want the THADD near their homes. It's necessary, yes, but it should be placed in an area that's near by, but remote to villagers. You can't just fight a war with might, you need the legit hearts and minds of the people, especially the people near your shit that keeps you alive. No need to have a Vietnam scaled conflict.
I would be happy to sacrifice for the overall wellbeing now if they aren't that is their issue but aside from that the installation of the weapon is just like any other building cuz either way if the weapon wasn't placed in that village it would eventually get raided and pillaged during an invasion.
6:42 something itchy?

maybe the Aliens want us to destroy each other and then move in.....

FRIGGIN AWESOME REPORTING
Love. The reporting thanks Dena
I love how this reporter says certain things to make both governments (which both are protecting all the people) out to be bad guys because they are not allowing people to walk in certain areas and they are making noise in once was a quite town. Do the protesters and this reporter not know how many lives are at stake if the govt was not here.

South Koreans should allowed to have a referendum on presence of US forces. That's how good democracies works.
As a South Korean, having the US as an ally has benefited SK. However, war is not an option in my opinion as there will be heavy casualties for all parties involved. They key is to educate the North Korean citizens about the war crimes their dear leaders has caused since the armistice. The citizens of North Korea has had access to more information through technology and is one of the reasons that many are defectors and live in South Korea. If we can have more defectors civilians and military personnel from North Korea, we would essentially reduce their military power overall and have more insight to North Korea. Lol destroy them within.
Dena nice hosting safely and tc...
Without the THAAD many people would die, the THAAD is protecting them and not harming them and they should learn who helped S.Korea in the korean war (USA). They are talking like they are trained and ready for war but actually not.
Kurdistan Romania SK don't want war America is the one forcing them to do these stupid military operations because America live to fight in wars because war means money to America corporations.
OG so you're telling me North Korea wouldn't bomb the shit out of sk if it wasn't for the US?
Ozoic P1 Yes. Every country should protect themselves. They should not outsource their nations' security
Not a Gandhi yes they should but they won't, as soon as the US steps away from its position of "peace keeper" another country will step into its place and abuse its power just like the US
Plus if no one does it countries like North Korea would try to conquest weaker countries
9:04 were you staring at my butt?😁😂😂
Wtf lmao is that why he coughed and said not okay
1:23 soldier looks like Johnny Sins
Sins and Audrey Bitoni :D
Salute Dena's courage and bravery for trying to tell the truth.
I'm a typical South Korean, served 23 months in the Navy just like others and I can sure that anti-US protesters are deeply involved with NLPDR, which is a political ideology and its heelers that agree with North Korea's rule. and they're also minority(maybe 1 to 3 percents) of South Korean. Most of South Korean agree with THAAD and other military assets from US. They insist they're locals but most of them are involved with false resident registration.

4:50 you are in uniform! get your hands out of your damn pockets!!
I don`t understand why South Korean villagers are protesting deployment of THAAD and the U.S. military forces in South Korea. The purpose of them is to defend South Korea against North Korea`s ballistic missiles and invasion. Don`t they understand they`re under constant threat of North Korea? Or do they think North Korea`s brutal rule is much more preferable?
They have North Korean agents and propagandists working to disrupt South Korean politics.. It's nothing new. Most South Koreans don't think this way. It's just a propaganda.
MrEjidorie Because those people are tired of war you idiot! They lived through the Korean War and maybe the Japanese occupation. They've had enough. You wouldn't know that because you live in your safe neighbourhood with no worries. That's what idiots like you don't unederstand
+MegaJordan691
>You wouldn't know that because you live in your safe neighbourhood with no worries.
North Korean ballistic missiles had overflown my country twice in the past few weeks, and I don`t live in a safe neighborhood with no worries. In fact, my people are very concerned about the outbreak of war in the Korean peninsula, and we couldn`t be bystanders. As countermeasures against incoming North Korean ballistic missiles, we`re willing to offer lands for Aegis Ashore and THAAD.
North Korea did not target wholesale south Korean civilians during the Korean War the US DID, this is just one reason of many.
DAMN AJ YOU KNOW HOW TO HIRE! THIS WOMAN IS SMART AND BEAUTIFUL! A RARE COMBO THESE DAYS UNFORTUNATELY....

Agent 47 So you would like SK to be bombed?
Clorox Bleach No. Some of those people don't like or want U.S. troops there. If we leave South Korea, they might want us back.
The US does not want to leave as their only ally in Asia Pacific is South Korea lol. If they left SK, they have no control over Asia, hence having a massive base overseas. The US tactically moved in and set bases in Japan and SK. Im thankful for US being there and US troops serving our country, however, there are other reasons why the US hasn't left and kept building upon their military assets in SK and Japan. If taking out Kim Jong Un would make things better, it would have already been done, but its more complex than that.
zdub23 What do you need?
i would have been terrified to know the north Korea was at my borders & i want full support of America & probably the world to stop Kim...
rgdstranger A day will come when Kim will be tried in a court of Seoul and then would be dragged onto the streets of Pyongyang, were the angered people will beat their supreme leader brutally and mercilessly to death
Its another proxy war. The global leaders play chess with imaginary country lines. The ones that suffer are the people while the leaders sit comfortably and play the sport of war. If i could id slay them all. A good burning would be great
Anton J Then you will wake up from the dream
Excellent
My father fought in Korea , he told me about the horrors that north Korea perpetrated on everyone in the border area ,those villagers forget the horror of the war , the north will steam roll them , My Korean American friends even agree and fear for the anti war protesters if they get stupid during a conflict, i am a Sicilian American buddhist and i see the idiocy of their protests.kim jung is a metally ill dictator.

AKBAAR You have to be an American Citizen
oh ok, is there a way to be citizen american to be in the military. i believe in america force army to enforce world peace. i would love to be one of the best to serve in the USA military
AKBAAR The only way to become a citizen is to legally migrate to the US, learn English, and pretty much do whatever you are told for about 8 years or more. By then you might or might not lose interest. I really don't know
AKBAAR www.goarmy.com
AKBAAR you can earn citizenship through service.
The reason these elder villagers have a life at all is because the US ARMY is present. While I feel for them, if it wasn't for OUR sacrifices as a nation, THERE WOULD BE NO REPUBLIC OF KOREA (south).
makwabid69 true to a degree but actually what started the Korean War was stemmed by Japan. It's an interesting story.

"I dont like the US" *majority of south Koreans love the United State's military presence*
well it is our business if NK is threatining us AND our ALLIES thats the whole point of treaties
I love AJ+ but I had to dislike this video It is not balanced. If the US left S Korea today Kim would invade tomorrow. I understand the villagers feel they have to do something but any village N Korea that tried to protest would be massacred. If the S. Korean military moved villagers without proper compensation then they have a very legitimate issue but if S. Korea was left defenseless the villagers would learn the meaning of a true despot under the Kim dynasty.
My uncle was in the Korean War
nobody ask and nobody cares
You NEVER allowed to take pictures of a military area
America: Ok we'll leave
Old Villagers: YAY
North Korea: Hello there
I agreed with those villagers. America should never have gone to South Korea as never to Vietnam.
Jesse Soronen partly agree cus now our troops are stuck there by treaty until North Korea fcks off
America had every right to go to Korea however Vietnam was unjust.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الأَمْرِ، وَالْعَزِيمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتكَِ، وَعَزَائمَِ مَغْفِرَتكَِ، وَأسَْألَكَُ شُكْرَ نعِْمَتكَِ، وَحُسْنَ عِباَدَتكَِ، وَأسَْألَكَُ قَلْبًا سَلِيمًا، وَلِسَانًا صَادِقًا، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا تَعْلَمُ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ
