all nonessential contractors should be evacuated from South Korea. Want to get North Korea’s attention? That single act would serve as a graver warning of our readiness than any amount of sanctions or saber-rattling.

And South Korea, after being abandoned by us, would never trust us again. Nor would any other ally.

Seriously, just pack up and leave right before starting a war that is going to get millions of South Koreans killed? And this guy was a general?

And then we need to be prepared to counter any North Korean conventional blows against South Korea.

Might be a good idea to be prepared to counter a North Korean nuclear attack on South Korea and Japan - or do you think the North Koreans are not capable of developing a second strike capability? It's a big country and they've had decades to dig deep holes. Are you sure you got every single nuke? Going to bet the lives of every man, woman and child in Tokyo on that?

I also didn't see anything in General Peter's plan about countering biological weapons. You know - the poor man's nukes. Much easier to make and to deliver than nuclear weapons and just as effective at killing people. War mongers like General Peters are so eager to get the killing started they sometimes forget to look at things from the other side of the fence... hmmmm.... $2 billion for a couple of ICBMs with nuclear warheads or $20 million for enough weaponized anthrax to take out Los Angeles... and for another couple of mill the same lab could crankout some smallpox viri to hold back to use on any invading US troops. But hey,,let's just go with General Peter's plan and hope North Korea is stupid enough to play the part of his patsy for him.

He was not talking about the military leaving - only the families of the military and non-military personnel. Seems reasonable to me as a first step. I still think we need to show them we can shoot down their missiles. Every time they launch a missile - we shoot it down.
