We would have beat Korea the first time by all assessment if those pesky Chineese hadn't shown up to fight. I see no caution about that here.

Good morning.
"We would have beat Korea the first time by all assessment if those pesky Chineese hadn't shown up to fight."
We did beat the North Koreans the first time around.
Then we beat those "pesky Chineese". Then the diplomats and politicians stopped and drew a line just within artillery range of Seoul.

Oh I figure a nuke would be plenty clean. Everyone who was not vaporized would be sterile. No blood, no dirty rags lying around, etc...

""I'm just saying that, on a scale, you're going to have to use more brute force to get the job done" in North Korea." Since you work at the Pentagon can you explain why those dopes think you can win a war any other way. If we had fought WWII the way we fight these wars today (worried about killing the enemy and its infrastructure) we would have lost that too.

Use the Neutron bombs. Instant death over a wide area. No damage to buildings etc. Radiation dissapates in something like two weeks. No need to rebuild.

As a result there would be more unintended damage inflicted, he added. "You end up more like a World War II, Korean War campaign," he said, adding that he was not making any predictions. "I'm just saying that, on a scale, you're going to have to use more brute force to get the job done" in North Korea.
Well, this sounds better than the PC wars we have been fighting lately.
I say let's do North Korea Roman style. The Romans knew how to take care of business.

There not much there to be rebuilt.
To: Concho
Yeah, but............From Wikipedia
These same authorities say that the common perception of the neutron bomb as a "landlord bomb" that would kill people but leave buildings undamaged is greatly overstated. At the conventional effective combat range (690 m), the blast from a 1 kt neutron bomb will ruin almost any civilian building. Thus the use of neutron bombs to stop an enemy attack, which requires exploding large numbers of them to blanket the enemy forces, would also destroy all buildings in the area.

I know, but you might want to read it, there is much data about effective stopping power at various yields versus conventional Nukes, etc.

The UN/Allied armies did totally beat N Kor until China sent 3 million volunteers to swarm the place.

It's not a matter of "can" we beat anybody. It's do we have the "will" to do it. Like the Great One says...."kill people and break things"

You can bet the Chinese are thinking about this scenario also.
