these guys look like they could kick some serious butt!!!
That ought to put fear in the North Koreans!
Didn’t they recently release those 2 American “Journalists”?
That was also August 5, same as the above photo.
Coincidence? Things that make you go Hmmmmmm?
Gad Robert, “…a sea infiltration drill?” Is that what they call it?
Well, they look mighty good doing it!
Let’s move on, quickly. I’d rather not see any infiltration.
Looks like the infiltration has already occurred!
My office-coworker is so far out of the closet he couldn’t find it again if his life depended upon it, and he’s been fixated on your website for the half-last hour. Now we know why.
These are very intimidating and new infiltration techniques!! I’m sure the Navy Seals, the SAS and all the other bodies are looking carefully at these to what and how they can learn from Koreans!
Wow they are as hard as a rock!
I’ve seen gay porn that was less explicit.
Tried it. Does not work – photo must be a fake.
Dave, just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean no one else can. How puerile of you to dismiss something others can do as impossible if you are unable to perform the same feat.
This just in:
Actor George Takei tried to join the South Korean Army claiming he’s part Korean on his mother’s side.
