The largest air force in the world is the US Air Force. The second-largest air force in the world is the US Navy. Let that sink in.
xD that left me speechless
Lol waste of tax dollars while Americans are obese and having to sell a house or a limb for medical treatments
TRUE..Naval Aviators Are Proud Pilots Too👍USN Retired Chief Petty Officer Deleon Steven L.
@@stevedeleon8775 , thank you for your service.
It won't sink unfortunately cause I learnt how to swim at an early age 🙃
America and S. Korea are brothers. We love you guys, Be proud of that uniform my friend because it stands for the same thing ours does!
I was thinking the same thing. We are on the same side. Be proud of your country and military and do what you all can to improve it. You have friends if you need help. (Saying this from a civilian point of view... Just covering my tracks so people don't run wild.)
Well said.
Inseperable, Americans especially we love everything Korean BBQ!!!
I lived in South Korea for a year when I was stationed there. It was the absolute highlight of my military career. The South Korean people amazing. Wonderful culture and people. I’d love to go back one day.
@Smoke King That’s a beautiful thing to say! A lot of times people are judged here for getting involved in foreign fights. My fathers friend was drafted to Vietnam and when they got back they were spat on by children. It felt like no one cared for what they went through. He ended up sniffing glue to escape and he didn’t live long. It’s nice to hear that the world doesn’t always view us as the bad guys. Plus the youth of both South Korean and Japan seem so much like America that it feels like you guys are part of us, one global nation
I’m an American. I’ve spent 7 years between Iraq and Afghanistan. As a soldier and as a security contractor. Yes we have an amazingly powerful military. But brother, let me tell you, I’ve spent some time with the South Korean ROK Army and let me say this. You guys are badass! I’ve seen the way you train. I’ve seen the way you conduct yourselves on the battle field. You are a strong, fit, smart, and brave force. Very well disciplined. Much more than other countries I’ve also worked with which I will not name. Yes hypothetically America would win. Means nothing to me. We are allies and if I was pinned down and the ROK Army showed up to help me out, I’d feel pretty damn good in that moment. Be proud of your country. You have my respect Sir.
Now as an American, what can you say about Ukraine and Russia?
@@jonathanrisher8541 ; Well I’ve never worked with or fought against either. So all I can go on is by what I’ve seen on video. I watch a CZcams channel called The Enforcer. He does a great job covering the war there. I can give you my honest opinion of each.
Ukrain: Very impressed. I think they have earned the respect of many warriors. They are doing very well considering their limited resources. Judging by their accuracy of artillery strikes, proficiency with tanks, handling of small arms, I would say they are one of the better trained forces. Being honest here, I would say the average Ukrainian solder is on par with the average American soldier. You also have to factor in that they are fighting for their homeland and are highly motivated.
Russia: Oh boy. Where do I begin? I think Russia has shocked the world by how pathetic their military is. They don’t use good tactics. Poor leadership. They seem to not communicate well between units. Their 40 mile long convoy of bumper to bumper vehicles with no fuel for weeks was hilarious. Russia is what you would call a paper military. When you look at their military force by the numbers, on paper, they are impressive. More tanks than Americans. Very strong Air Force. Sizable Navy. The problem with Russia is they have this huge military but they have an economy about the size of Spain. There is no way they can maintain all that equipment on a 50 Billion dollar budget. America has a budget 10 times that size and every bit is needed to maintain our equipment. If you noticed all the footage of the wheeled APCs and trucks broken down and shot out in some of the videos. Almost all had flat tires. That tells me a few things.
They don’t have run-flats in their tires where Americans have them in all their vehicles. At least to my knowledge. It also tells me that their vehicles aren’t moved much and the cheap Chinese tires they use are dry rotted. This tells me they lack the money to train with these vehicles. They just park them for wars. You can also see how badly their tanks smoke which means they aren’t changing out the filters like they should. The fuel crisis with Russian vehicles isn’t due to not having fuel. They have plenty. They just lack the fuel trucks to support such a large force. Especially an invading force. They also lack forward mechanic support for their vehicles. This is why you see so many farmers stealing the tanks and APCs left broken down on the roads in Ukrain. This is nothing new to Russia. They did this same thing in WW2. They spent all their money and resources on planes and tanks while refueling and maintenance was an afterthought. Americans had to provide them with all the extra equipment they didn’t think to get for themselves. It really takes a well funded, well trained, and well supplied force to invade another country that possesses a halfway decent military. Russia does not have the means to conduct a long winded war in another territory. They needed to win this think in one week and they really needed 2 or 3 times the invading force equipped with plenty of fuel, munitions, food and maintenance support. They just don’t have it. It costs a crap load of money to have that. Russia is also a dying country. They have the largest land mass by far of all the countries, yet only have 90 million people and their population is shrinking. This kinda seems like Putin’s last chance at reviving Russia. Not going so well though. If you want to see the absolute worst trained soldiers in that whole conflict right now, take a look at the Chechen soldiers. Holy cow! Can’t hold a rifle correctly. Flagging each other all the time. Spraying and praying. Just a joke.
When people talk about the might of America’s military, I look at it like this. We aren’t extraordinary. We’re not the greatest thing since sliced bread. It’s all boils down to money. I asked an Iraqi fighter Pilot back in 2004, how many hours a year he flew. He said about 3 hrs. Compare that to the average Air Force pilot who gets about 200 hrs. Same thing with soldiers. They qualify every year in marksmanship. Takes a few thousand rounds to do that per soldier. The costs add up big time. Any nation can achieve the same thing if they are willing to pay for it. That’s all it is man.
@@survivalguyfyi5718 Seems like you know more to say about Russia than Ukraine. Now I well say this: I honestly thought by the sheer mass of Russia will overwhelm Ukraine in a matter of days if not, a week at best. And it's just not me. Most people in the U.S thought Ukraine was done for. All Putin had to do was threaten the West long enough for him to win the war so things can go back to normal on his end.......to my shock, Ukraine has been repelling Russia's attacks again and again at their capital to the point where the Russian army just gave up. I should also point out that Russia is ranked 2 on military power (so it was said on military comprehension videos) with an up-to-date military. Ukraine on the other hand, is still using weapons from WW2 with their outdated military. Let's not forget how resourceful the Ukraine army has been in this invasion. But Russia......i too honestly don't know where to begin. Base on the videos I'm seeing, they lack discipline. Their morale is dangerously low to the point where troops are turning against each other and having doubts about the war. They have committed war crimes then lied and tried to cover it up. There are also recordings where Russian soldiers are breaking in stores, businesses, and houses just to loot for food, money or anything valuable so they can put it in their tanks and carry it away.
@@jonathanrisher8541 Yup. I think China has been ranked number 2 and Russia 3. I could be wrong though. But it would make sense. I believe China has the second largest defense budget. But yeah. On paper you can count up Russia’s equipment. Then you find out the poor condition of the equipment. I think they estimate only 10% of Russia’s tanks are operational. So if that’s true, they don’t have 12,400 tanks. They have about 1,240. Where as America has 8,725 tanks. Of which I would guess 95% are operational. So who really has more tanks? And we can refuel them. So like I said. Russia is a paper Tiger. They have to defend a land mass 1.7 times bigger than the US on 1/10th the budget and 1/4th the population.
Nice to see how America doesn't always diss its allies like some other civilians do
As an American Vet I love my Korean brothers in arms. You are very brave and fierce warriors. You are respected and admired here in the US. We stand tall together.
The scariest thing about the US military is its logistics. The sheer enormity of supply needed to run a carrier group is staggering, and there aren't just one.
As we've seen recently, it doesn't matter how good your equipment is if you can't keep it supplied, and that's where the US is unparalleled.
Yet they left 90 billion dollars worth of military gear for the taliban 😂👌
@@mikecochrane1437 thats what the US has always done. They leave their weapons after they lose a war and hope that the people they lost to will use those same weapons to destabilize that region after they leave.
@@mikecochrane1437 What’s crazy is that’s not even 1/7th of a yearly budget today.
This is true when you learn supply chain management classes
@@mikecochrane1437 a couple of old UH-60s, Mil Mi-8/171s, C-130s, A-29s, dozens of mix old and new armored vehicles, a hundreds of second hand equipment from the ANA equates to 90 Billion? You must be good at math. Also, note that most of these things are either sabotaged by the Americans before they left, or doesn’t have parts, maintainers, or pilots for it.
ROK Marines are top notch. Very professional and well trained. Definitely up there with US and Royal Marines. 🇺🇸 🇰🇷 🤝
Fuck yea, I approve this message 200%!
I love how his immediate reactions are to compare and then try to figure out how to make his own military better. The mentality of a strategist
Never be ashamed of your forces. Believe it or not you have one of the strongest armies in the world. Why, you believe in your government, you know what you have and can loose, you have discipline, you have pride, you have training, You know what you want to protect. I'd much rather be protected by S. Korean troops than Russian troops. As you can see in the Ukraine, the skill level difference is night and day. Be very proud.
It's amazing how well disciplined they are. Even their conscripts serving their required time are amazing compared to some countries career soldiers.
Unless you're the Venezuelan Military trying to scare US Marines with videos of your awesomeness. LOL
Yesss thank you I hope someone was going to say something, it made me sad when he felt ashamed of his military. Every country wants to be the best but we all have weak points compared to others no matter the country.
Yeah, the battle hardened Koreans 🤣🤣🤣
@@user-sm4fp2jo1o You must have never heard of ROK-SWC. I'll give you a hint, they train with and are a reflection of our own special forces like the Green Berets. Also don't ignore the fact they are neighbors with an aggressive nuclear Communist nation that would love to take control.
I expect the heat generated by USMC personnel hearing Navy Seals referred to as the best Marines could fuel three nuclear aircraft carriers.
Yes, but I can understand the confusion, while being a separate branch of the military, the Marines buy most of their equipment through the Navy, aircraft for example are purchased through the navy, and the Marine pilots and ground crew train in the Navy training pipeline.
@@kdrapertrucker I also think it is confusing to most people because both the USMC and USN are under the Department of the Navy and answer to the Secretary of the Navy. So most just see it all as one even though they are independent branches and neither is above the other.
I think this may be an error of translation from Korean to English? In many languages the word "marine" (I mean the equivalent word in their language) is what describes the closest warships and sea. As a matter fact the U.S Marines (USMC) kind of borrowed the word "marine" from the French language, which means the equivalent of "navy" in French. The actual English word "navy" is a bit of a weirdly sounding oddity for other languages. Let's say America had two military branches named U.S Air Force (for low altitude helicopters supporting troops on the ground) and the other branch named U.S Atmosphere Force (for high altitude jet fighters and bombers). Well, a translator may prefer to use the word "air force" in English as better sounding to describe the high altitude jet fighters and bombers. (Other languages have nothing referred to as "atmosphere force", it sounds weird and ambiguous to them.) Then to American speakers that'd be technically wrong, if their high altitude military branch was actually named "U.S Atmosphere Force" and not "U.S Air Force". Hope this all makes sense, thanks for attending my TED talk.
@@ufia Yeah, there are a lot of historical and linguistic oddities in play. I noticed some other imprecise translations too - for example, I suspect what was translated as "fleets" was really meant as "ships."
@@ufia The reason they are called Marines actually comes from the 18th century, when soldiers that were stationed on ships (different from the sailors) were called marines. Both the French and the English called them that, and the term stayed in use for the American Navy, and the branch was named back when their primary duties were that of the 18th century marine: soldier on a ship tasked with shooting from the rigging and doing boarding operations.
You should be proud that you are a soldier. In my eyes regardless of your country, if you are volunteering for service you already have honor.
My ❤goes out to the soldiers that never had a choice to fight.
I trained with ROK Marines. Those guys are legit. Glad you are our allies. Cheers from your USMC brethren.
No need to be ashamed. I was in Pohang in the late 80s for one of the Team Spirit exercises. Just across a fence line was a training facility for the ROK Marines. We used to hear them get smoked by their drill instructors all hours of the day and night. Occasionally they would come over and we would trade uniform items and other stuff. They were tough as nails and we always had a ton of respect for them. And we were US Marines. Nothing but respect!
"If Korea had that, I wouldn't be scared to go to war." Korea DOES have that. South Korea is an important and cherished ally of the US. If the North were to attack, or anyone else, the US military would immediately deploy to support South Korea.
I believe we cover S.Korea and Japan under our nuclear umbrella, guaranteeing if China tried to deploy thermonuclear weapons against them, it would invite immediate response from the US Military. I have zero doubt in my mind, that we have Ohio-class submarines waiting and loitering in the south china sea ready with Trident SLBMs at the ready.
The Minuteman 3 is scary, but the Trident can carry up to 8 450kt warheads and it would take just a matter of minutes for the SLBM to deploy it's packages. It's one of the reasons we havn't bothered with upgraded ICBM missiles and are still using the same ones from the 70s, and why we've virtually phased out any form of gravity or air launched nuclear missile like the AGM 129, which was a stealth cruise missile. (Kinda feel like the stealth design should come back for those missiles even if they just outfit them with a HE submunition warhead.)
Not if sleepy Joe biden caught sleeping at the time of the invasion😁😁😂😂🤣🤣
The US has about 30,000 troops stationed in South Korea. An attack on S. Korea would engender a pretty severe US response.
The US also has a mutual defense treaty with ROK...I'm not quite familiar with the nature of it, but the US absolutely would start dropping bodies if they got attacked.
U.S Marine here. S. Korea has a strong military, be proud of your service!
I've had the pleasure of working with ROK military once and they were great. A mix of both active duty and conscripted personnel. They were all very nice and eager to work together.
My roommate in college was ex Korean military. Very cool dude . Definitely would not mess with him while he was drinking . Similar to marines , they are taught to kill in hand to hand combat quickly and brutally .
Army vet here. Our south Korean brothers and sisters will always have our support. ALWAYS 🇺🇲🇰🇷
I know he is being humble. But their fighting techniques are so damn pure and just technical when it comes to hand to hand combat. It’s really insane how good their troops are when it comes to it
I don't think hand to hand is really the way wars are fought these days.
@@QuickScope723 …ya don’t say.
This guy is smart and knows what he is talking about 👏🏻, South Koreans are one of the most smart and respectful people I’ve ever met
Both South Korea and Japan are U.S greatest ally’s in Asia hands down, so I definitely think that these 2 countries in the near future will be supplied with all this technology
Korean Marines are built different. Had some time spent in ROK and they are so friendly, but as soon as shit is real they are the most professional and most badass.
You did a good job on this video, really enjoyed it. 👍🏻🇺🇲
Much love from the US for you and your people!
Never be ashamed SK Marine.. you earned it.. you live it... own it.. Semper Fi
I read an article about South Korean troops in Vietnamn.It was a weirdly named article..the title was(and there was colors involved)Horses ..tigers ..and something else.My dad had fought there 68-70..and he said "Their hardcore,some of the best troops and most brutal troops he had fought beside".He had a very high opinion of ROK forces in general and the Marines in particular.Unfortunately he passed away..and there is no way to go further into that conversation.
this guy is amazing i think we should all aspire to be as humble as him
All I wanna say is I love you south Korea. You guys were always so nice back when I was younger and stationed there.
Looking back I was a kid. I had no concept of South Korea or culture... just a high school level snapshot. I was young, ignorant and you guys made a huge impact on me and how I have lived my life along with treating others.
If you go out there for duty.. just walk in ignorant. Don't let anything outside of knowing customs and culture spoil your views. These people got something amazing and if you are polite and respectful they will show you a lot.
I love this so much I was bored looking for videos but then I got your notification ty so much😭❤️❤️❤️
I looked it up, South Korea bought 40 F-35's and training for them started in 2018, so their one step closer to the capabilities of the US then he seemed to think. =P
the huge gap between US Marines and SK Marines is "EXPERIENCE".Training is different from experience.
Good analysis!
Indeed, that's one of the most overlooked advantages the US military has. We have *loads* of experience that gets passed down to new officers that other countries just don't have. China for example, even if their navy was on par with ours (not even close in terms of tonnage or capability), they don't have a 200 year old naval tradition. They don't even have a 20 year old one. The last time China operated a decent navy they got blown the fuck out by the British in the Opium Wars. They don't have those decades of experience of operating a modern blue water navy like the US does. That matters a *lot.*
As we're learning with Ukraine, any country willing to fight, will presevere. Though Korea doesn't have the strongest technology in their military, this can be overcome with determination and love for your country. #fighting
South Korea was my first duty station. The KATUSA soldiers, in spite of not being happy about having to serve, were there for us as friends and support. Great memories from 1987.
This dude is jacked. I'm sure American forces appreciate the kind words but he has nothing to be ashamed of, Korean soldiers kick ass from what I hear.
It was nice to hear this insight. Thanks
Luv this 💓
don’t be ashamed of serving your country. you’re doing your part, it’s up to the people and government to do theirs
I would think the example if Ukraine would point out that sufficiently motivated civilians can be turned into efficient effective soldiers. The issue with his perception of the lack of interest of the civilians in the RIC us maybe due to the fact that they haven't had a war since the 1950s, while the US has been actively involved in ground actions for most of the last century. That's a hell of a way to get experience.
@@shawnwales696 true, but Ukraine has been engaged in a civil war for sometime.
Show him some of the US Army and Marines training videos and I'm sure he'll change his mind on his opinion that the quality of training is better in South Korea.
Idk. Some of the training now in America has been really different. They seem to be getting soft
By training keep in mind they have to deal with the same shit just with less support… the translation ain’t always exact. Take it with a grain of salt…. obviously nothing can really compare to a country that has been in war for 200 years… it’s incomparable.
Lol exactly!
@@stompingpeak2043 I agree. When you're talking about elite forces (Seals, Rangers, etc) no doubt the training is there, it's extensive and extremely strenuous. It makes or breaks people. But regular IET and AIT, and the training you get at the unit lvl annually has definitely become soft. Before I got out in 2017, they were giving kids 10min break cards in IET, if it was becoming too much emotionally. You can only counsel now and that doesn't follow them when they move. No corrective action whatsoever.
@@foncywoolsocksiii923 I mean look at some of the forces we have. The navy literally has fat people making it through basic. How tf do they let that happen. I can understand a little fluff but some of them are full jiggle
This was so interesting
This young Man sure knows a lot about the US Military and he seems to be a very dedicated, very Patriotic Serviceman!
I served during Iraqi Freedom on the USS Bunker Hill CG-52 which was a guided missile cruiser. That boat alone literally had enough firepower to wreck an entire nation
That was very informative and insightful. I appreciate his candor about the quality of the US military and its equipment from a Korean perspective. I had the sense that he knew what he was talking about. He's a very fine soldier.
This was very interesting.
honestly technology dominates in wars. skill only becomes an issue if you’re using brand new recruits or if your opponent has the same technology as you. The side with the better technology will win or at the very least make it hell for the person they’re fighting.
Right now I think we are going through another massive global arms race… I am scared to think it might be a prelude to a global Third World War.. I see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.
Hes really a smart soldier for what he said at the end
We got your back bro
Back in the 70s at Redstone we watched the ROKs in formation in the morning before class. They were there for their MOS training just like us but were the toughest bunch of guys.
I will send much love & for a continued peacetime in this difficult times in the region all the way from Sweden to our South Korean friends & allies...Be proud of your Military despite the difficulties South Korea has also every Nation's Army has it's own limitations & weakness because we know highly trained & respected South Korea is around western countries & it don't limit the love for peace & Democracy with a Government who cares about it's people
Korean soldiers have held the line for a long time and Koreans should be proud of their armaments for such a small country. The fight against Communism still rages, and you are at the fore front.
The US is kinda in the best ideal territory for a massive military. Vast landscapes, two coasts, allies with Canada and Mexico. Separated by wide seas between the other contents.
* Allies
Chukotka, Far Eastern Russia joins the chat: Hey there Alaska.
@@yushclayystaguan True but Russia would never touch the US. We all know what would happen.
On top of that the vast majority of Americans have firearms and are very heavily immersed in gun culture. There are very very few countries in the world where they have the sort of freedom we do with guns as civilians. We wouldnt necessarily know military tactics but we would be able to shoot and we also have a very large number of citizens.
Invading and attacking the US would be a logistical nightmare for ANY country.
@@erickim1739 yes that is true too. I’m in a gun supportive state where it’s just normal to own a gun, almost weird if you don’t. And the people would definitely use theirs to defend themselves. And I didn’t even mention the militia groups and small extremist groups. Yeah it would be a challenge to invade the US. Lol
I love countries like South Korea, Japan etc. They are some of Americas closest Allies. Much Respect to them.
Don’t be ashamed to be a Korean soldier. Remember we are allies fellow brother in arms. And I am so grateful I got to see your country. 우리는 함께 간다
there is the saying "everyone looting until the roofs start talking korean", you people rock 💪
Thank you for your service, Ally.
ROK soldiers are hard core.
🇰🇷 🇺🇸
Dude I love that camo
South Korea has definitely earned my respect. I've seen your military and it's by far one of the most impressive military forces I've ever seen.
My Uncle served in Vietnam, he said the South Korean fighters were tough folk. He said he felt better if they were along because they had disciple that was unmatched both inside and outside the wire, and especially under fire.
We are good friends and allies with our South Korean brothers. Im nearly certain our military would protect your country in any armed conflict. The main threats are North Korea, China, and Russia... each one a threat to Korea and Japan, but our military alliance, our friendly agreement with your government, and economic dependence on Japanese and Korean electronics would certainly require us to protect the Korean skies in the event of a war. So be brave friend, our army is also your army. We would not let you go it alone.
My fellow countrymen. Pride is a downfall. Best to remain humble and prepared. Just because you have it, doesn't mean using it makes it right. Having our allies is equally, and arguably, even more important. We fail to realize that then we can succumb to anything.
In other terms “Freedoms broomstick”
Don't you be ashamed be a soldier! That takes courage. Let's just live in peace.
S Korea & the US are family👍👍
Much respect to the Korean armed forces.
Being the best and strongest also makes you the biggest target. You’re expected to become a peacemaker and obviously the world isn’t paying us to so it’s both a huge expense and you end up having to pick a side. It’s like we hesitated with WWII (which honestly we didn’t have a choice we were in a Great Depression) but then we acted too fast after 9/11. Now I feel like we are failing Ukraine because we have the ability to help and aren’t
Semper Fidelis ( Always Faithful) from one Marine to another Marine.
This cat is hilarious. His turns of phrase and honest assessments as cross trained SOF (well, as much as Force Recon quasi, dn't want to get into it) straight shooter, he just gives it to you straight. at the 2:00 mark:: "We've a middling and respectable air power in terms of skills and technology but next to the US, we're ultimately no more than toe jam.""
You know what? My great-uncle (so my grandfather's brother) was one of the first four jet fighter pilots of the ROKAF. Flew F-86s.
My dad was was a ROK Marine for six years and saw action in Vietnam and was serving as plainclothes CID when the opportunity come to the US and join the US Army happened. He put retired after 23 years, last year of service saw him pin my butterbar on return my first salute is an 11A.
I've got cousins who have or are serving in various US and ROK services and have relatives that have served in both and the truth of it is, if you plan to make a career of military service, there is no better nation to do it than the US.
You all know the golden rule . He with the gun, makes the rules.
One of the most important aspects of the U.S military is it's ability to move manpower and equipment quickly.
i trained with the south korean military during NTC
those guys were cool
Don't be ashamed. Be yourself. You matter🙂
Recognizing deficiencies is the first step to stepping up the game. Second, unimportant, I love your voice. I agree with this Korean soldier that being neat and clean should not be an important factor to concentrate on, but it is important overall as a person and a representation of the country. Respect and honor your country. American soldiers are also expected to be clean and organized, look presentable at all times.
Korean soldiers talking about our gear when they have those sexy ass K2 rifles 🤣. I'm a little jelly.
US Air Force has the most combat aircraft in the world. The organization with the second most combat aircraft in the world is the US Navy.
US Air Force and Navy rank number one in the world
Never look down on your own country, instead work to build it up.

We might have more equipment but if you’ve read anything about Koreans in the Vietnam war then you know they have a fierce, disciplined military.
North Korea: *has a giggle*
USA: “WELL FUCK, I GUESS I HAVE A NEW GODDAMN STATE NOW”
I was Army in Vietnam , You Guys had to most Fearse Fighters , The Rock Army as South Korea was called scared the HELL out of EVERYONE , So for a small Country thats quite a statement from many Units that fought with them , Great Pod cast Hand Salute
That’s right. Don’t mess with us
0:36 It's interesting he says "PMC", but translation goes straight to 'Mercenary'
South Korea was also in Vietnam not just North Korea
actually they pretty much deployed in all the wars America was in since the Korean war. S. Korea is kinda of a colony of the USA without us ruling them. If we deploy they deploy and vice versa, who you think gave them 5th gen fighers :) They are like our little bro
South Korea has mastered both soft and hard power. The ROK is one of those militaries where you're quite glad they're on your side.
The US: we are mighty country!
Russia: grab my beer, yankie!
My mans got a superhero physique.
Nobody’s takin about how jacked this dude is 😂😂
"WOW...should I move to the US?". ...... You'd be welcome anytime!
Have to remember that South Korea is a lot smaller country than here in the states, also its gdp is far smaller than the US. Also smaller countries like South Korea don't have to have huge militaries because we have contracts with them that if any country was too attack such as North Korea the US would immediately deploy troops to aid and protect South Korea and its people. This is the reason that we have so many military bases all over the world so we can be aid and protection at a moments notice.
This comment section wins, the purest ever
“The quality of training in North Korea might be higher...” *North Koreans spin kicking cinder blocks*
I got train with the RoK Marines in 1979and these guys were good at most things then. They were Professnal in Commando Tactics and in training. I was there with the US Marines. Their biggest problem was they were not properly equipped by the South Korean Government due to fear they would revolt and overthrow the Government Officials in power.
The US has real experience in operating bases and logistics of real battlefields
Hey ROK dude (if you happen to check these comments.
I understand you want to improve your defensive forces and general capabilities, and there's no doubt you would have to be on the front lines against North Korean aggression. However, I must stress, that the US population as a whole, largely supports the ROK. We love your culture, admire your character, and are permanent allies. So, while you work on improving your national capabilities which is to be expected and noticeable given your development of new jets and very impressive tanks and self propelled howitzers, just understand that the US is there next to you. The dedication to prevent and respond to any aggression from NK or China, should be apparent based on the permanent forces based in ROK and Japan, as we project US military forces in Asia to defend both of those countries, in addition to Taiwan, the Philippines, Australia, and Malaysia. Love from the US. : )
The Korean language sounds so cool
I concur with @Robin Borkowski. I want to add that in the US Military, small things matter also. There are regulations for hair, nails, uniform, etc. In the US military you must be clean shaven (only some people have exceptions) and your hair must not be passed a certain length. Being in the military is a profession, so you are to look and act like a professional.

Jesus, he is the most jacked Korean I've ever seen.
