How will you feel when we have 35,000 thousand dead troops and countless 10's if not 100's of thousands dead SK's.

OK, military genius, how exactly is a 1970s Soviet model army going to do this? All those T67s and BMPs storming through the mountain passes sounds like a target rich environment for US airpower to me. Three B52s can wipe out a massed armored division in five monutes. Against US air supremacy massed armored/infantry attacks are as obsolete as horse cavalry charges.

As soon as we got wind of an impending attack across the DMZ, I believe this administration would begin attacking not only the NK forces, but every airfield, army and navy base and command and control facility in NK. Which is why I am gald we have serious people running things who won't wait until after we take the first hit when a threat is imminent.

Are we invincible? With a clear mission and competent leadership, yes, our military can defeat any force on earth. With weak indecisive leadership, and no defined mission, any army can be beaten. Thank God we now have the former.

Help has arrived.

Time will tell! Mobilization has been an issue for over a decade. I heard of massive problems mobilizing troops for the afghan adventure. And please, discount my first hand experience. But hey, hope you're right. Blackbird.
