But the offensive he launched last February has proved in many ways the most arduous of his career. His mission: to root out wholesale pilferage and embezzlement in the 650,000-man Korean army, which has reached so enthusiastic a pitch that an irate U.S. Defense Department report said that open black-marketeering in "virtually every commodity...
