Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17969123 I think Obamacare is for civilians. So, no way, not unless they're prepared to wait for a long time. The VA hospitals are all overflowing with troops already with long delays everywhere. This is due to the totally useless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now Obummer is smart, he uses drones and proxies to fight the new wars. However there are still lots of troops moving into Africa. Some are in Colombia. The USA is an imperialistic (rogue) country, big time. If you got assets we need we will get them sooner or later. Watch out Venezuela. Maybe it's the plundering that keeps the US afloat since the country is for all intents, a financial basket case. |

Mr. Toppit User ID: 37267917 United States 04/01/2013 05:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You guys don't realize how bad the first Korean war was. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4734824 It was worse then any war we have ever seen. Korea was Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan all rolled into one. In 1000 days more then a million people were killed. And many atomic bombs were dropped near Korea too show our determination too win. 400 Canadian soldiers fought off 4000 Chinese in one battle. Thats how intense it was. At hamburger hill the Americans posted a sign saying "Abandon all hope those who enter" Not a single light could be seen from North Korea at night after dropping 800 tons of bombs on them daily. This will go WW3 if it goes down. Look up the "Official" casualty report. [link to en.wikipedia.org] With a million red chinamen streaming across the Yalu, it ain't gonna be pretty. You do realize that the North Koreans have an 8,000,000 man active reserve...add that to the 1,200,000 active soldiers and you have 9,200,000 soldiers coming at you before the Chinese arrive! So this is where all the missing US ammo went. What a waste. |

"I think" Atomic weapons are more radioactive then a thermonuclear weapon. It's all pretty bad for whoever is on the receiving end of it. The WP article was an interesting read , it went on to say... "North Korea’s state-run news agencies said the country had “diversified” its nuclear stockpile with the new test. The declaration underscored concerns that the North had mastered a design that uses the country’s ample supply of uranium. North Korea’s plutonium stockpile consists of only a few dozen pounds of the gray metal, enough to build a handful of bombs. But recent visits to North Korea by U.S. nuclear experts confirmed that Pyongyang operates at least one uranium-enrichment factory, described by visitors as large, sophisticated and fully operational." I can't help but think Kim has is being as bold and as threatening as he is because they are more advanced and prepared on the nuclear end of things. |

N.ALABAMA User ID: 5640892 United States 04/01/2013 05:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you think they care? They'll be running it over as they scream by in the first wave on their way to Seoul! Nobody really talks about a ground force offensive with NK, but I agree with you. With the amount of infantry they have it would be a human wave going against SK. And while all of this is going on, let's not forget Iran. Or our actions (or possible ones) against Iran. Iran has been far too quiet lately, and quiet with "enemies" often means they're up to something. Good point. If you look at the military stats, North Korea outnumbers South Korea in every branch of the military. If North Korea was pushed back and started to lose the war they could activate their 8.2 million reserves and 5,000 tanks and finish the job on the ground. In 1950 the Chinese 'human wave' attack only consisted of about 80,000 troops (still a lot by any measure), but if you could imagine a human wave attack of over 1 million (let alone 8.2 million) you get to see the dilemma for the South Koreans and U.S. It puts the U.S in a position where it risks Chinese or Russian intervention by sending multiple aircraft carriers and hundreds of thousands of troops and heavy armory into China and Russia's backyard. This also means that the U.S would have to pull its carriers and heavy armor from strategically important areas protecting other allies (i.e, Israel, Persian Gulf, etc...) If the U.S decides to revoke its 'first use' policy of nuclear weapons and deal with the NK threat by nuking its way to victory, that invites a series of variables that involve some pretty ugly miscalculations (not to mention full Japanese rearmament and acquisition of an ICBM capability that would have far-reaching global implications). So, in summary........ If North Korea uses its FULL military might it would probably overwhelm the relatively small SK-US force and win, unless the U.S is happy to send a quarter of its military on to China's and Russia's doorstep and possibly start WW3. I work for a Missile Defense Contractor at our home of Missile Defense and we have numerous analysts and they all agree that the 8.2 Million reserves is highly over-exaggerated. NK does not and could not FUEL, FEED, and resource these troops. It would take their entire country's CONSTANT production just to supply the active troops. It is also common accepted knowledge in the intel group that many of NKs troops would abandon there posts immediately in a large crisis. Even in peace time they dont have the resources to feed and fuel the population. Just imagine when something real big pops off due to NK jumping the gun; the few resources they have will be cut off instantaneous. |
