The Vietnam War Research Director in the South Korea Army, an Army officer of 30 years, testifies in this video about Pastor Jung at the Vietnam War. Below is a key excerpt and the video.
“Commander-in-Chief Choi Myung Shin said of Pastor Jung Myung Seok, “He is a really great leader” after seeing his mentality and spirit. There was a reason Commander Choi Myung Shin, who was a three-star lieutenant general at the time, said that about a low-level soldier.
This is because he always said, “Even if you lose 100 Viet Cong, protect one good citizen,” and I thought that Pastor Jung Myung Seok was the one who put this into practice. Next.
Everyone, in general, we call a person who kills a lot of people on the battlefield a hero. But the real hero is the one who has saved many lives. Pastor Jung Myung Seok went out on hundreds of operations and captured more than 10 prisoners.
1I talked about the battle earlier, but if you go to war with a gun, you don’t know if you’ll die today or tomorrow. The first thing people think about is how to come back alive. Then, in order for them to survive, they must shoot the enemy.
However, Pastor Jung didn’t aim to shoot the enemy. He had captured not one but 10 enemies, with the purpose of “how can I save my enemy?” No other soldier in the history of the Vietnam War has taken so many prisoners.”
