re: #226 Decatur Deb
That’s the “Joint Security Area Effect”. Both ROK and DPRK troops in the
Pamunjom contact area of the DMZ are required to be over 6’. It goes with the ever-taller flagpoles.
What I heard was the South Koreans choose tall guys to show the North how strong and well fed the South is, while the North has to scrape together enough tall fellows to even things out.
