It is true that the US survived in the Korean War because it holed up in the Pusan Perimeter. It took the N. Koreans a while to get that far, the distance to Pusan being about 300 miles or so. Also significant is that there is no artillery round that would reach that far. Gulf II has shown that the new Patriot can knock down Scuds.
So, in short, it makes sense for the US to move their troops to the southern portion of the peninsula where it is harder to target them. If the N. Koreans move across the border our air power will decimate them before they get too far.
The only issue becomes nuclear. NK has said the only real protection anymore is nuclear. We must take that capability away from them and from other rogue states. Nuclear capability must remain extremely rare. We should be willing to go to war over that issue.

"Together with other neo-conservatives who urged the Iraq war..." Conservatives coined neo-conservative to refer to liberals who had seen the light and became conservative. Many even switched parties. Ronald Reagan is a perfect example.
The left cannot stand the fact that the right might influence language.
Liberals have successfully co-opted the word "neo-con" and have given it their own definition.
Heaven forbid that conservatives could define their own words.

Andrew Marshall, key strategic analyst at Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment, has been toying with the idea of creating huge buoyant platforms that can double as the launch pads and runways of US warplanes These are featured in the novel "1984", where Orwell calls them "Floating Fortresses".
