That's a comforting thought...what we can't (or I should say, won't) do, for reasons that should be obvious (IMHO), perhaps someone else can and will do...
I have no reason to believe the ROK reputation is still as strong as it was in Vietnam. They had a well deserved reputation in Vietnam as the baddest asses in country, and the NVA would leave the field of battle if they found out they were up against ROKs, particularly ROK Marines.
