'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

20 Navy Officers Indicted for Corruption

The Ministry of National Defense announced Tuesday that it will indict 20 officers at the Navy's Gyeryongdae military headquarters in South Chungcheong Province on charges of engaging in irregularities in military equipment acquisition and influence-peddling.

The corruption cases resulted in a loss about $670 million won to the state coffers, the ministry said, unveiling the results of its months-long investigation.

In one example, a Marine colonel helped a local construction company win a contract from the Navy in 2003 and received 40 million won from the firm in kickbacks.

The investigation began in October under the direction of Defense Minister Kim Tae-young, after Lieutenant Commander Kim Young-soo spoke up the irregularities.
