The U.S. 2nd Infantry Division commander said Thursday that he fully supports the Korean prosecution of four U.S. soldiers under investigation for alleged misconduct, stressing that he has “zero tolerance” for criminal acts.
In a press release, the 2nd ID underscored that the two recent cases of misconduct involving four of its 11,000 Soldiers have dishonored the reputation and legacy of its soldiers as a whole.
“The 2nd Infantry Division is cooperating fully with the Korean National Police to ensure individuals found at fault face swift and firm consequences,” said Maj. Gen. Thomas S. Vandal, the division’s commanding general.
“I fully support the Korean prosecution of soldiers found to have violated Korean law, as I will not tolerate immature and thoughtless behavior.”
On May 31, a 2ID sergeant was arrested after he allegedly stole a taxi in downtown Seoul and rear-ended a parked car. On the same day, three 2ID soldiers were caught on charges of sexually harassing a female employee at an amusement park in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.
"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
