A Korean army captain has been arrested for allegedly
forcing new recruits to eat shit.
The 28-year-old company commander, identified only by his family name Lee, barked butt-headed orders at 192 enlisted men, telling them to pick up feces and suck their fingers as a punishment for not flushing toilets. About half of the terrorized troops followed the anal order.
"I am deeply sorry to the recruits, their family members and the public," said South Korean Defense Minister Yoon Kwang-ung, amid mounting public anger. "I will have the Army conduct a thorough investigation and take stern action on the involved personnel, including those in the chain of command," the minister said in his official statement.
The Korean army has been plagued with complains regarding "harsh punishment in the name of strong discipline," but the public seems dumbfounded by this latest incident of turd terrorism.
"He is insane. How the country could be controlled in the event of war under such commander? He should eat feces in front of the trainees," said Kim Yong-hwan, a 29-year-old public servant at the Labor Ministry.
