American Troops Side-eyeing Korean troops for fanboying

It really depends on the command, I remember they brought a few football players and cheerleaders to meet the company on veterans day, there were cameras etc... Before we went to go see them usually a gunny or staff sgt comes out and says act like a retard i fucking dare you. or something to the likes of that. If you choose to act like an idiot, you will get punished with everyone within your rank, so LCPL fucks up all the Lances get hazed by CPL's, CPL fucks up all the CPL's get hazed by SGT's. Even something as simple as when we got to mingle with the ROK Marines on the beach, one guy said something retarded and it pissed off a korean, so rifles started getting thrown in the sand and they watched while we cleaned our rifles and dug garbage out of the sand to bag up and throw away while the guy who fucked up had to sit in the porta john and clean his rifle there. That's just my experience with it though, I'm sure they vary based the dynamic of the unit. I'm also sure you have seen that, we're all just people. It just depends how tight they have a hold on your balls at the moment. The ROK Marines were more laid back than us on a whole even though they performed great in operations, due to a few things in my opinion. 1. they're not a volunteer force. 2. they're officers are chill as hell from what I saw. 3. their enlisted structure isn't as rigid as ours in terms of who takes what orders from who. generally officers run the show on a smaller basis like our sergeants do, so they're more comfortable within the ranks and more friendly to each other. They really decked out their sleeping area and mingled every night in a huge tent while we all sleep separately based on which vehicle we're in while taking turn standing watch all night. They had a lot of fun and when they operated they were damn near perfect, it's a differen't dynamic because they don't go warring at least every decade, where with us it's a certainty.
