Don't we already have troops in South Korea?

Or do you mean into North or something?

I haven't heard anything to suggest we're going into North Korea.

i ask because i overheard something from a memebr of the military that he was given one week's notice that he was being mobilized to "korea" i dunno if north or south, and i'm trying to figure out if this is a big deal, since it's happeningi in the way of the mess with nk in the last couple weeks.

I doubt if there is a need to send more troops that way. We already have plenty in the region not mention the use of the south Koran military and Japan's military and more within a stones throw to cause the same kind of disaster that we currently have in Iraq!

The leader of NK did send out a pretty strong statement about the UN sanctions and even threatened war. Who knows....

I did 3 tours of Japan. They will follow what the US proposes in that region because they have too much at stake to lose. Also the US has a very large contingency of Military in the Pacific to include Hawaii, Yokuska, Okinawa and SKorea so I do not see N. Korea really trying to do much besides using the WMD technology as a way of of getting attention and money not to mention the fact that China, SKorea, Thailand, Phillipines to name a few would have to get involved if things became unstable.

NK has one million active duty military personell.

But they don't have enough food to feed everyone.

I think they would be powerful in a short engagement. Anything beyond a couple of weeks and they would run out of resources and either surrender or starve to death.

It's only a matter of time before they collapse and millions of refugees pour over the border into China... which is probably why China is building a fence as we speak

Can't we just mix some batches of good-old-fashioned napalm and turn NK into Dreseden Twenty-o-Six ... firestorms and whatnot.

It seems the most cost-effective solution
