In Deep Kimchi

Slang for "In deep trouble" or "In deep shit."
In Korea, people would bury cabbage deep underground in a pot and put a lid over it. They'd keep the cabbage burried until it fermented and turned into Kimchi. When they un-dug it, the Kimchi would smell very foul. Many Korean war vets began to use the expression In Deep Kimchi for when they were in trouble.

Vo Nguyen Giap

Giap served as minister of defense and commander-in-chief of the People's Army of Vietnam. With the outbreak of hostilities with South Vietnam, and later the United States, Giap led North Vietnam's strategy and command. In 1967, Giap oversaw the planning for the massive Tet Offensive. While initially against a conventional attack, Giap's goals were both military and political. In addition to achieving a military victory, Giap desired the offensive to spark an uprising in South Vietnam and show that American claims about the war's progress were wrong.
While the 1968 Tet Offensive proved to be a military disaster for North Vietnam, Vo Nguyen Giap was able to achieve some of his political objectives. The offensive showed that North Vietnam was far from being defeated and significantly contributed to changing American perceptions about the conflict. Following Tet, peace talks began and the US ultimately withdrew from the war in 1973. Following the American departure, Giap remained in command of North Vietnamese forces and directed General Van Tien Dung and the Ho Chi Minh campaign that finally captured the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon in 1975.

Project MKUltra

The CIA's brainwashing (mind control) program from 1953-1973. It tested psychotropic drugs and experimented on U.S. citizens in order to develop mind control and interrogation techniques for use on Soviet agents and politicians. None of the "test subjects" gave their consent for these experiments and the "research" often caused permanent psychological damage for those who were subjected to this program.
• On November 28, 1953, scientist Dr. Frank Olson fell to his death from his closed 10th story hotel window. The government claimed that he suffered from a history of depression and committed suicide.

• On August 3, 1977, a congressional report on the CIA revealed that Dr. Olson was working on the top secret Project MKUltra.

Frank Olson was experimented on just one week before his death and it is believed that he was killed by the CIA.
