Last night I dreamed there was a Paris-like attack on the Army base at Yongsan. Except it was on a much larger scale. It was vivid and detailed. And it was a joint effort by the North Koreans and ISIS. I woke up before I could do anything heroic though, and had difficulty going back to sleep.
Then this morning I came across this article about the alleged ties between the North and ISIS and it was a bizarre feeling for sure.
The reality is I doubt such an attack on the base could be pulled off. But I’ve taken note of the fact that Itaewon offers ample opportunities for soft targets frequented by Westerners. All of us unarmed. Although I suppose a bunch of armed drunks wouldn’t provide much sense of security either.
