The biggest problem we have with N. Korea, are the several thousand artillery pieces they have within range of the the south's capital. Once the shooting starts, we just couldn't eliminate 'em all before they lay waste to it.

Even though that little guy over there running the show is a nut, he's smart enough to know how inexperienced our current administration is, and will push hard trying to find out what all he can get away with. He knows our leader is weak, and doesn't have the stomach for a real fight. Because of this capitulationist attitude he believes us to be controlled by, this whole situation could get out of hand in a hurry.

If the shooting does start, it would get real nasty. Due to the logistics of it all, the north simply could not win...(assuming our administration will allow our armed forces to fight up to their fullest capabilities)...but they could make us bleed...BADLY!

My father was over there at the tail end of the war just before the cease-fire took effect. There wasn't one good thing he had to say about the entire Korean peninsula. In fact, he called it the armpit of the world. He said the whole country literally stunk. The land was completely worthless, agriculturally speaking. The people were the ugliest people he's ever seen before or since. And the rats in those bunkers gorging themselves on the bodies, really were the size of small dogs. And they weren't afraid of you when you walked up to 'em...they'd actually challenge you instead. He couldn't wait to get out of there and back to Japan.
