4 November: Keeper of the peace
The ROKS (Republic of Korea soldiers) at the DMZ are pretty badass in general, but the ones that serve right on the demarcation line to play the staring game with the North Koreans are particularly badass. This guy is 6’3”, easy (there’s a height requirement for this post for maximum intimidation factor) and is apparently a master of multiple martial arts. He’s standing with one foot in South Korea and one foot in North Korea and is totally motionless.
