Kingp, it is indeed fun to bash the jug eared melado, howsomever I, for one am starting to see him as more of a symptom rather than the disease.
The SK are a sharp, tough, resilient and courteous bunch. Just caus they haven’t told us its time to go home, dont ask to stay and stay.

“The SK are a sharp, tough, resilient and courteous bunch. Just caus they haven’t told us its time to go home, dont ask to stay and stay.”
Having talked to a knowledgeable South Korean, I can add another view. He said that under the influence of the United States the SK military has been arming and preparing for a conflict with China or Russia as support to the US. Their jets and other equipment are all aimed at a high tech traditional war. They’re not equipped to fight the type of war they’d likely be in with the North; low tech with human wave assaults. The SK’s can’t deal with the artillery that can fire one million rounds per hour into Soul.
One example he gave was the F-15, which was intended to go one-on-many with other fighters. While needed, the south can’t mount the type of air cover and assault necessary to take out the artillery or kill mass assault troops flooding across the border. That would require hundreds of much smaller short range fighters.
