N.ALABAMA User ID: 5640892 United States 04/01/2013 06:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5396611 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. LoL smart guy.. Any troop that is brainwashed enough to commit kamikaze will surely be glad to rush into S Korea and steal their supplies.. Im sure your brilliant company didnt want to consider that little tidbit.. Moran I guarnatee they have considered way more than you can even imagine better yet comprehend. FUCKBOY |

You are over-thinking things way, way too much. This isn't the 1940s-1960s. This would not be a conflict. Do you even realize the US Congress has not declared a "War" since WW2? Everything else has been considered a conflict...Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan etc. The semantics of Congress declaring war has repercussions you don't even realize. Giving the US free reign to neutralize targets by any and all means. Where every conflict since WW2 they had to worry about civilian casualties and an enemy using guerilla tactics. That would be over in a heartbeat. Not sure why you think the US would put any boots on the ground, when in reality that is the last thing they would do after Air and Sea. There are many means with conventional weapons to stop a million man army from crossing the border. It is actually extremely easy to inflict devastating mass casualties since they are so grouped together. Why you guys think all the US military tech that you see is the only things we have are beyond me. The reality is the tech is 40-50 years beyond what many comprehend. |

So Is Venezuela ! 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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 11615111 United States 04/01/2013 07:38 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] My now deceased father was a Korean War Vet, he said it was bad. He told us a story once when we were older. I remember he said that soldiers lost their feet due to frost bite and not having any place warm to go and couldn't start a fire and give away their location, etc. He told us a few other stories that night too, but I just can' remember them at the moment, 40 something year's ago and he never said another word about it to us, it all came out ONE night, and that was it, he never shared the stories again and I never heard him even talk to his friends or family about it. It was like he just wanted to forget it all and never think about it. The night he told us, well, he had too many beers. |
