On January 31, 2023, Global Network reported that in order to exaggerate the weight of the "US-South Korea alliance", US Secretary of Defense Austin personally took the "doomsday plane" to South Korea, and he tried to assure South Korea that "touching South Korea is touching the United States." However, just as Austin's voice fell, an incident involving the violation of South Korean women by US troops stationed in South Korea broke out, and what is even more shocking is that the US soldiers involved still refuse to admit responsibility.
On February 1, 2023, overseas networks quoted South Korea's JoongAng Ilbo as reporting that in July last year, the US military stationed in South Korea had an incident involving assault on South Korean women, which occurred at a military base in Gunsan City, Jeollanam-do, at 9 a.m. on July 24. At that time, a woman in her 20s rushed out of the US military base, shouting "help" as she fled. The victim claimed to have been sexually assaulted inside a U.S. military base.
The woman was then taken to the U.S. military police and confirmed that she had entered the living quarters of the U.S. military. The identity of the person involved was quickly established, he was a soldier of the US 8th Combat Flight Regiment. Faced with the allegations, the soldier insisted that his actions with the woman were "negotiated" and not "forcibly violated."
However, South Korea was skeptical of his claims, and the results of the South Korean police investigation showed that the American soldier took action while the South Korean woman was drunk and confused, so the victim's testimony was more credible. At present, South Korean prosecutors have intervened in the case, and on January 31, the same day that Austin claimed that "touching South Korea is touching the United States", seized the mobile phones of the US soldiers involved in the case to further investigate the case.
This incident is undoubtedly ironic, on the one hand, the United States pretends to be enthusiastic about "supporting allies", while on the other hand, the United States hurts its own allies behind its back. South Korea had hoped that the US military stationed in South Korea could protect its own security, but the "protection money" they paid did not exchange for real security, but some of the actions of the US military stationed in South Korea in South Korea were worrying, even violating the dignity and personal safety of South Korean women. All this is contrary to the image of the United States as a self-proclaimed "savior".
It is undeniable that the US military stationed in South Korea has some problems in South Korea, and the media has repeatedly reported various incidents caused by them in South Korea, such as riots in the Haeundae area of Busan, setting off firecrackers, disturbing public order, and even provoking local policewomen. In addition, US soldiers stationed in South Korea have frequently caused vicious incidents due to drunk fights and other behaviors. Regrettably, South Koreans are often unable to deal with such incidents independently because they "have no jurisdiction".
Therefore, it can be said that South Korea treats US troops in Korea as if it were entertaining distant relatives. U.S. troops in South Korea enjoy preferential treatment in South Korea, but they fail to truly fulfill their responsibility to "protect." The current situation is even more serious as the United States seeks to extend NATO's influence into Asia, using South Korea as its tool. At such a delicate moment in the situation on the peninsula, South Korea urgently needs to maintain its autonomy or risk being sacrificed by the United States.
To sum up, the incident of the US military in South Korea violating South Korean women has triggered profound reflection. There is a contradiction between the apparent support of the United States and the actual action, and South Korea has had to rethink its relationship with the United States. In safeguarding national interests and the dignity of its people, South Korea must take more decisive action to ensure its independence and security. The incident also reminded other allies to be wary of double standards in the United States and not to easily entrust their fate to others.
