Taxpayers in South Korea obviously aren’t particularly concerned about waste in their armed forces, with members of its air force allowed to swan about making funny videos to put on YouTube.
The Les Miserables parody clip, which currently sits on a respectable 1.5m views, features alternative Korean lyrics and a plot regarding love on a desolate, snow-bound air base. The troops manage to look pretty happy about being there and taking part in the madness; quite an achievement given that South Korea requires all able-bodied men to carry out two tears of compulsory military service.
“We hope that the video can help shatter the image of the military as a dull place and encourage more youth to take the service with delight,” said Major Cheon Myeong-Nyeong, one of the officers responsible for backing this bizarre musical mini feature. [YouTube via BBC]

Agreed, where’s our Harry doing this in his gunship?
I think you mean ‘Les Miserables’, not Les Miseables.
Parody was brilliant though.
“Taxpayers in South Korea obviously aren’t particularly concerned about waste in their armed forces, with members of its air force allowed to swan about making funny videos to put on YouTube.”
With all due respect members of any countries Armed Forces do have the odd occasion to give themselves morale, including making funny vids. Kindly remove your head from your arse.
