Yeah, what made it even more significant was that the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, was actually one of the South Korean commandos who took part in Operation Paul Bunyan.
And then there's one other little note that I found pretty interesting.
There's a one-hole PAR-3, well, golf, I don't think you could call it a course, but it's like an astroturf, well, a PAR-3 that's surrounded by landmines.
now where the poplar tree used to be, and it's called the most dangerous hole in golf from Sports Illustrated.
Yeah, and we never really said, you know, we kind of hinted around that this might have been all planned to begin with.
And there is circumstantial evidence that suggests that that whole attack was preplanned to begin with.
You know, because I mentioned that we had gotten in touch with them and said, hey, we're going to prune this tree.
And no one really said, like, no, don't do that.
And so that attack seemingly came out of nowhere.
But one big clue was, I think, three minutes after this incident occurred,
Radio Pyongyang, which is the North Korean state radio, they broadcast a very biased report on this like right after it happened.
So it seems pretty clear that it was preplanned.
But analysis later on seems to indicate that the Soviets did not know about it and they were kind of acting on their own.
I saw one other piece of circumstantial evidence, too, that kind of is pretty definitive, is that within five hours, there was a non-aligned nation, which were the nations during the Cold War who didn't choose sides.
All of them were meeting in Korea.
And within five hours, Korean delegates were at that meeting handing out memos describing the axe murders.
And totally blaming it on the Americans, like had completely flipped it around in an effort to kind of drum up support to get the Americans out.
