Korea has some pretty good fake news. I miss the air-raid practice sirens every 3rd Thursday of the month. All the people not used to living here always got a little freaked out.
Quite a few people think MASH was about the Vietnam war. The slur Gook actually came from the Korean word miguk me-gook which means America and sounds like broken English, Americans during the war didn't realize Koreans were just saying America. Mi = beautiful and Guk = country. America actually lucked out on that name.
It took me around 2.5 hours to type. I don't need to research or fact check myself. Thanks for your kind comments.
