My Dad told me they are ridiculously hard to kill.
I'm sure if you ask Jarhead nicely, he can let you know just what you need to get rid of a hard to kill Nork infestation. ;) :o

Here's an unsettling thought: how close does a nuke really have to get in a cargo ship to a harbor anyway?

Or ten nukes?


And while I'd certainly grieve over the loss of American (or some other country's) life attacked by the Norks, I'd grieve over the utter crushing of North Korea to follow, too. Yes, I know, it would have to be done, not disputing that. Still, people have souls wherever they are; and however careful we are people (and lots and lots of people in this case) would get in the way who shouldn't have to pay for the crimes of their leaders.

Since you mention it, don't forget they have subs that snuck up on a SK patrol ship. Where can they put those subs with their device in it?

I get the feeling LiL Kim will not be around in 5 years.

Perfect :)

WTF do they think they're doing, anyway?
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

they didnt sneak up on that SK patrol ship, they sunk it which led to a weekend arty duel.  most people dont realize that theres just a cease fire in place and not a peace treaty.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

The interdiction campaign in Korea was actually quite effective once we had sufficient air assets available in theater. It's safe to say that we would have even better results if it came to a second round.

As I recall, THE WHOLE WAR in Korea was effective until China stepped up.

Oh well. I wonder if Shrapnel's Raging Tiger game has picked up some sales recently...

We did almost get booted off the peninsula entirely in 1950. The early battles involving US troops didn't go too well.

Yep, that's a first, isn't it?

I realize that politically the right thing to say is that they can't unilaterally dissolve an armistice, but that's only a way of saying they can take it back and no one will complain, giving them a way back in. Practically anyone on any side can dissolve an armistice.
