Somehow I missed out on the "blood types" thing when I was stationed in Korea. I'm trying to understand what you mean Daria. I was battalion liaison officer with the locals, and nobody ever mentioned it to me.

Interesting. Dad served there in the Korean War, and I was stationed there 20 years later. I talked to many Korean friends, and they never mentioned anything about blood types. I do know that they are constantly under the threat from NK being so close to their artillery/rockets, and they had so many slaughtered in the 50s. My guess is that in the last few decades, the thought of giving blood for wounded friends may be important, just in case. And since an O+, which is my type too, is so able to help so many others that they look with favor on it more than other types. Listen, you be careful, because the more crazy that fat little twerp keeps rattling the sabres, the more I worry about my old friends there in Seoul and Mun-San. The ROKS are Tough and can hold their own, but too many can get caught in the middle. Take care Dear.
