Korea is a special and very ugly case... Seoul is well within the reach of several hundred Nork artillery pieces. The carnage would be terrible.

Oh my friend, you have no idea how terrible it can be.

I was stationed in Osan AB, I was a Security Police officer/ground combat specialist and I can tell you that things over there can get real ugly real fast.

I really can’t get into details, and I’m sure things have changed in the 11 years since I left, but I can say that it’s far more precarious over there than you’ll ever hear.

[chuckles]

I would like to say what my battle plans would be, but that would just start another big fuss over my "over reaction". Lets just say, the N. Koreans wouldn't have a chance to get many rounds off. I believe in overwhelming force. That includes EVERYTHING. The reason I made my first comment was to show I would make the battle short and sweet. I have little patience for playing back and forth body count. I like it more one sided. Also if a couple of nukes were used, maybe other provocateurs would figure I'm not playing around. They set off a nuke to start the mess in the first place.

Everybody's first reaction is conventional warfare. All that does is cause what we are in in Iraq right now. If Iran wants to have nukes, we should supply them with some in Tehran and Natanz. They think we don't have the will to stand up to them is why we are having these problems now. I feel sorry for the people that don't support the regime, but why do we have to wait for a mushroom cloud here before we get "real mad".
