Do you know approximately how many artillery tubes are aimed at Seoul and how many shells an hour can be lobbed into the city in case of an air attack on NK nuclear sites?

Yes. I served at Kunsan for a year. What is the point of having our military there, as I was, if we arent willing to use them? Quite a big waste of money if you ask me. Do you know how many F-16's we have at Kunsan, F-15's in Japan (at multiple sites), A-10's at Osan, 15's, 16's in Alaska? that are ready to deal with NK at a moments notice. All of PACAF is on alert right now. I could go on with B-2's that would be there in a day and a half, B-1's within hours, and Buffs from Guam and Diego Garcia. Not to mention the 37,000 American Troops (actually more like 30,000 now), the million and a half ROK troops on the DMZ right now. How many missiles, artillery rds do you think we could lob on Pyong Yang?

I didn't answer you question. In November of 1998 when I was there, the number of shells was 35-40 Thousand every 24-48hrs...According to our briefings. Almost unbelievable, but inevitably it will have to be faced.
