Reveal everything that needs to be revealed. He still has to pay for his murder.
supe****:
Even if there were abuses in the barracks, did he really have to go this far… Both Sergeant Im and the dead soldiers are worthy of our pity..
neos****:
Without omission, reveal what he wrote in that memo to the public.
kdw7****:
The situation ended! Start firing the responsible people at the Ministry of Defense, ke.
woad****:
There are so many things to do when you are young. Why did he have to give up everything?! What a fool!!! This is not something any young person should be tempted to do…
dewy****:
Journalists in our country should be put on a leash because many of them are crazy. Why did they visit his family’s neighborhood and let them all know?? Aren’t they crazy for real? Those journalists who cross the line these days should get their act together.
ssrr****:
Even if what he wrote in the memo might be controversial, the military should not manipulate it. You cannot block the sky with your palm.
hyun****:
So he cried…. He eventually got back to his senses… How painful it must have been to commit such acts when his rank was already sergeant…Such a pitiful murder.
omo3****:
He couldn’t endure the last three months until he got discharged. Now he will be isolated from society for a lifetime.
sang****:
The investigation team should not hide anything and reveal everything as it is… If they hide something, an incident like this can happen again..
