Yoon touts solidarity on US sub
Korea HeraldAPR 2023
Though the US military bases across South Korea have historically been deemed potential sources of drug trafficking, the fact that the US investigation division assisted the country's law enforcement in an unprecedented search-and-seizure operation suggests the tide is turning on this issue.
This is the latest embarrassment for US forces in South Korea after one of its soldiers, who spent two months in prison on assault charges, crossed the border into North Korea during a civilian tour of a border village. If the US intends to remain in the country, it must discipline its armed forces and accustom its troops to respect the nation's laws and culture.
