Before South Koreans complain about how compliance with the US request for troops will impact the economy, it might be advisable for them to look in the mirror. Korean labor routinely shoots itself in the foot, and labor activists go to stupid extremes to make their point. Recent example: when stabbing yourself in the chest at Cancun simply isn't enough, you can always imitate the Vietnamese Buddhist monks who set themselves ablaze in protest of injustice. The only problem is that, while most people don't question the monks' noble intentions and the rightness of their cause, this might not be true for you.
Relevant quote from the linked article:
Labor militancy and la[bor] market inflexibility are among the key complaints of foreign investors to South Korea.
N'oubliez pas Nestlé!
