Korea.
I think one set in Korea would be interesting. I guess some might see that as provocative, but I think it just highlights a war and conflict that too often get swept under the rug. The West (USA, England, Europe) did A LOT of dirty stuff to kick that conflict off.
We were fighting on behalf of Syngman Rhee, the US-educated-and-sponsored dictator of South Korea, whose adgednda was demonstrated by the assassinations of his leftist political opponents. For over twenty years, Rhee’s belligerent ruled killed and imprisoned many people; thousands of his political opponents were murdered and tens of thousands were jailed or driven into exile. BTW: If you ever wondered what Billy Joel was talking about in his song "We Didn't Start the Fire" with the line, "
...U2, Syngman Rhee, payola and Kennedy
Chubby Checker, "Psycho", Belgians in the Congo"
He was talking about, the news story in 1960 that Syngman Rhee was rescued by the CIA after being forced to resign as leader of South Korea for allegedly fixing an election and embezzling more than $20 million. His ouster from South Korea was called the "April Revolution of 1960".
America sucks sometimes....
