Whoever wrote the one-sentence summary either didn’t read Mr. Koehler’s report or is illiterate. The debate is NOT about the US military base selling illegal beef to Korean restaurants. It is about Koreans entering the base and eating legal American beef at US military restaurants, which is forbidden by the Korean gov’t.
