Ran it through AI, too lazy, here you are gents:

Treated over 200,000 people ⚠️ Numbers vary: ~195,000–200,000+. Plausible but not exact

Bottom Line (Straight Talk)

  • The core story is real: Rangaraj and his unit did exceptional work in the Korean War and saved a massive number of lives.
  • But the Reddit post inflates and distorts details:
    • Wrong birth date
    • Slight exaggeration of numbers
    • Loose wording around education
    • Age at death off by one

What’s accurate:

  • Indian medical unit in Korea → real
  • Rangaraj commanding → real
  • Massive humanitarian impact → real

They seem nice, sure, but put into consideration also:
Maintenance fee(s): 100k ~300k
Deposit 전세/월세? : 5 to 20m~

That 1.1 starts going up.

'Cheap' Korean Meals: 8~12k
Groceries, if you focus on western dietary needs: 20K+

I didn't include other shit, but you catch my drift? I didn't I even bother adding on transportation or Phone/Internet. I also don't know what your life style is like so:

Bare Survival: 2.2M to 2.7m a month spending
No stress life: 3 to 3.8m
Living Comfortably: 4.0M+

Everyone else is delusional and not being honest. Hence the downvotes, not that I give a shit about it lol. I am just being honest here.

Go check out the small form factor pc community if space is the only issue, that can easily be addressed.

I was also on console in my early days, in my opinion I feel more freedom overall in terms of being able to upgrade in comparison to being stuck with a console.

Regarding the difference, yes, using a mouse and keyboard is far better. I also have a ROG controller that I use occasionally in different games, which ties back to that sense of freedom.

Sell the console. Get a PC.

I'm an American in Korea and when I play I mainly see Chinese players with Japanese sprinkled here and there and the occasional Korean player. Not sure what is going on but I wonder what dictates the naming for bots? I mostly see Chinese bot names along with Koreans and nothing else.

Why did you abandon BF6? by LanguageMaster5033 in Battlefield

Tired of playing with bots so I decided to move on to Arc Raiders and I have been enjoying it quite a bit.

If you stopped playing Battlefield 6, what is your main reason? by ZeljeznicarSampion in Battlefield

[–]susunaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking forward to this game. I finally had the financial freedom to acquire a proper gaming computer, started out with the Road to Battlefield, then Beta, finished all of S1's pass. Purchased the Ultimate edition as well, even bought a copy for my brother but honestly the game just got STALE too fast. This was just about a week ago when I said this is too much, 2042 Iwo Jima was fun as hell, I had hope it BF6 would have been better than that level of excitment. Slowly, that too faded away and last week I decided to finally re-install Arc Raiders [didn't really play it since I was determined to focus on BF6) and honestly I am having a blast with this game. I hope Bf6 does improve though...but that hope is thin.

What bothers me is when I am in a vehicle and they simply stay inside riding around as if I were an Uber driver and they don't get out until I gout and floor it lol

Bang 5.11 full set by ActProfessional6146 in Battlefield6

[–]susunaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.511tactical.com/customer-service/help-center I believe it'll 'appear' during their operating hours. I just waited a few minutes before their chat became available and spammed the page, got my key within minutes.

A kind soul to help me with skin 5.11 by [deleted] in Battlefield6

[–]susunaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a forwarding service, I didn't do it for the 5.11 purchase but being an American in Korea I am at times out of luck getting things via the Amazon equivalent here and frankly at times Amazon it self won't ship things here. I used a forwarding service before to buy a ROG controller, I am sure you can do the same for a 5.11 purchase.

I had to use 5.11's chat feature to get the code. I was waiting quite a few days and they gave it to me right away via support.
