That's my general assessment of it. They would fight vigorously and fiercely, and would descend in to mass suicide when eventually subdued, such is their cult brainwashing. They would also IED US troops going up there, in my opinion; they have made outreaches to terrorist groups in the Middle East in Iraq and Afghanistan to study anti-personnel mines and other improvised explosives a guerilla war context.
He was right, there is no substitute for victory. Having this thing end in a draw with the UN supervising it for 60 years, which has allowed them to stay alive and build up, has been a great mistake and has done absolutely NOTHING for their so-called "PEACE" they sought through appeasement and dialogue and armistace.
It is very sad that a country could be so cut off from the real world as to have absolutely no clue whats going on. When NK finally falls, I am going to be interested in seeing their school textbooks on the topics of the US and democracy and stuff.
I really appreciate your reporting of the situation in the two Koreas.
Your postings here on Free Republic are light years more informative than anything being reported here in the lamestream American media. I’m in Maine, by the way.
Please keep posting on the situation over there, as well as the Japanese reaction to the Korean crisis.
I have not been back to Korea since I took part in a joint S. Korea/US military exercise.
It really sobers you up when you are there, and see the immense danger and power keg that they DMZ really is.
The S. Korean military is highly professional, serious, skilled, and deadly.
Similarly, the N. Koreans are brutal, dedicated, and merciless.
It would be a blood bath should war break out.
