The U.S. would “utterly destroy” the North Korean military in a war, the U.S. army’s top uniformed official said on Thursday.
Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley warned, however, that war in the Korean peninsula would be “highly deadly,” bearing a high cost in terms of human life, infrastructure and economic fallout.
“War in the Korean peninsula would be terrible, however a nuclear weapon detonating in Los Angeles would be [even more] terrible,” Milley said in a speech to the National Press Club in Washington, about America’s security threats. “North Korea is the single, most-dangerous threat facing the international community and the U.S. today”

Top U.S. General Hints at Military Action Against North Korea in a ‘Few More Months
“North Korea is the single, most-dangerous threat facing the international community and the U.S. today”
You mean it isn’t “Global Warming”, or “Racism”, or “Homophobia”? Sheesh, General. Get with the program!
“Dear Uniformed Official”,
We, the American people, have had 8 years of vocalizing how well we would do things, militarily.
We, the American people, have been directly threatened by a small tinhorn buzzard with a nuclear bomb.
You, the american military, need to get up off yo’ dead arse, and go do what wwe train and pay you to do ... muck him and his country up big time!!
North Korea hasn’t been dealt with so far, because it holds Seoul hostage..its like the “U.S. Marshals” scene where the bag guy holds a gun to the head of one of the deputies. We need a Tommy Lee Jones type to cap the Nork leadership, S. Korea will never really be free until we do.
You forgot ‘Russian interference with our elections’.
These generals need to shut up.
Correct, i remember the good old days when generals, admirals and such kept their mouths shut and did their jobs, leaving policy and public comments to Washington.
Of course an all out war would send shockwaves through the world economy that would be impossible to ignore.
I doubt he is speaking on his own. He is sending a message from higher authority. It’s a form of back door diplomacy. Kim blusters, the U.S. has a general make a didactic counter assertion.
It’s the ONLY solution.......
Norks have thousands of artillery pieces aimed at Seoul. It would be devastating, to say the least.

I thought it was Russia.
A single salvo from an estimated 16,000 artillery tubes would do some damage, but nowhere near the devastation a retaliatory strike would have upon the North.
“You mean it isn’t “Global Warming”, or “Racism”, or “Homophobia”? Sheesh, General. Get with the program!”
I thought it was Russia.
And here I thought it was conservatives and FreeRepublic...

Touché!
South Korea should NEVER consider moving the capital to a city out of artillery range of North Korea, especially since a state of war has existed between them for over 50 years.
At the price of utterly destroying Seoul.
