    True story: This man also fought in the infamous battle of Thermopylae and was later captured by the Persians. He also partook in all the Punic wars and marched alongside Hannibal only to be captured by Scipio and made into a centurion. During the Napoleonic wars he helped conquer Europe alongside Napoleon but ended up being captured by the British army. Fast forward a few years later this man fought in the battle of Gettysburg but was later captured by union soldiers and was one of the first asian men to earn the Medal of Honor after he helped to overthrow the confederacy. Legend says that he enlisted in the Iraqi army in 2013 and has currently been captured by ISIS, lord only knows what they'll do to him.

Some examples include the Kuban Cossacks, Don Cossacks, the 33rd "Charlemagne" SS, the Estonian 20th Waffen Grenadier Division and they also called mscripted people of color such as the Turkmenistan Legion, Frie Indian legion, and the Arabian Legion. People need to read more history books.

    He was then sent into combat against Iraq during Desert Storm, but was captured and served Saddam Hussein until he was captured and pressed into service as a NATO member, until captured by some pissed off Taliban, which he fought for until he was captured by the US forces and sent back home where he then reverted back in time to when Korea was independent and was captured by the Japanese, only to be captured by the Russians then the Japanese again
