Dongducheon Mayor Choi Yong-deok and Lt. Col. Shane Doolan, the 210th Field Artillery Brigade deputy commanding officer, offered opening words of appreciation to the local residents and approximately 100 Camp Casey soldiers who were participating.
“We cannot meet spring with garbage from last winter,” Choi said before the annual event.
The volunteers began by throwing into the river biodegradable balls containing microorganisms aimed at preventing the growth of pathogenic bacteria.

This part sounds interesting…

Once many years ago, late at night in a spur of the moment drunken dare, I jumped into this river. This was on the backside of the ville just outside the main gate of Camp Casey. I just took a flying leap from edge of an overhang that extended out over the river. This was in the days of raw sewage and God only knows what else was in that water. I crawled out covered in slimy sh!t, got hosed off in the bathroom of one of the clubs, and went on drinking for the rest of the night.
It’s amazing that I didn’t catch some kind of nasty disease. Oh to be young, dumb, and full of come-uppance.
Guitard, you were young, strong, well-vaccinated, and full of alcohol. The germs never had a chance.
I wouldn’t recommend it these days. There’s stuff out there now that doesn’t care about all that.
Still having to defend Korea and clean up their messes…wonderful.
US soldiers throw biodegradable balls into river. River spews kid eating monsters. Korea wants $$Trillions compensation and Trumps head on a stick.
More…balls made in China.
At least the US soldiers have balls enough to spare…
