[Always A Marine]

I know that he's wrong on strategy way more than he's right. I mean Jimmy Carter? Come on...

If you read between the lines of Hackworth's comment, you'll note a dry irony. It was Jimmy Carter during the last decade who "negotiated" us into the present nuclear mess with North Korea. Hack is calling for us to distract the DPRK with "carrots" (a la Jimmy's last giveaway) -- while we pull our USA and USAF troops out of the beaten zone near the DMZ, where they now crouch as outnumbered speedbumps.

[go star go]

It seems to me that Hack has turned into a defeatist in the last few years. If we don't defang North Korea now we will get to watch their fangs grow to a point we will not like.
