Korean Army Removes Awards Given to Soldiers Who Put Down 1980 Gwangju Uprising
Here is the latest virtue signaling over the Gwangju Uprising:
The Army said Tuesday it has revoked 33 commendations that were awarded to soldiers in the name of an Army chief for their roles in a bloody crackdown during the 1980 pro-democracy uprising in the southwestern city of Gwangju.
The move is the latest in a series of military efforts to address past wrongdoing by the troops during the brutal crackdown on civilians who rose up against the military junta, led by then Army Gen. Chun Doo-hwan, in the nine-day revolt.
Chun seized power through a coup on Dec. 12, 1979, and ultimately became president in August 1980.
After a review of the commendations related to the Gwangju crackdown operations, the Army found a total of 33 troops had received commendations, Bae Seok-jin, the Army spokesperson, said in a press briefing.
“The Army decided to revoke the 33 commendations at a merit review committee on April 28,” Bae said.

Setnaffa, dehumanization of the “enemy” is one of the oldest and most obvious propaganda techniques.
It is effective to motive people of average intelligence and education but it is almost insulting to those who recognize the situation.
In this case, I find your cartoon highly insulting because communists aren’t people and I don’t need to be manipulated to throw them out of helicopters.
Sorry, CH. No one wants to motivate you to spend that much on helicopters when there are much less expensive alternatives. The so-called mRNA “vaccines” and “boosters” are certainly assisting.
@setnaffa is still obsessed about vaccines?
As we look back on the vaccines, we can make these conclusions:
– the vaccine was not as deadly as the anti-vaxxers hoped
– the vaccine was not as safe as the vaxtards claimed
– a lot of people didn’t do a personal risk assessment considering their demographic, known side effects, lack of effectiveness, historical testing time and failure rates of new vaccines, the constant scientific lies, the sinister collaboration between government/media/corporations/NGOs to get everyone to be a subject in a medical experiment with an experimental vaccine made with experimental technology, etc… but they sure had strong opinions about tHe sCiEnCe they didn’t start studying.
This dumbàssery is completely independent of the vaccine being one-and-done, a shot and a booster, a shot and frequent boosters, or a perpetual vaccine schedule that really doesn’t give much benefit as “they never said you wouldn’t get covid”.
So…
The real conclusion wasn’t about the vaccine so much, as it really didn’t do much except set a lot of young men up for early heart failure…
…it was that most people are too fùcking dumb to make their own decisions and need someone to tell them what to do.¹
¹and that someone isn’t government/media/corporations…
…but it’s all they got
