Those 30,000 troops are nothing but a speed bump. The "high tech" weapons are not enough of a force multiplier to assure such an easy victory as you indicate. The exception being those with nukes, if any that is, since I'm not sure we have any deployed tactical nukes at this time. We have the strategic ones of course, mostly sitting in Boomers hiding in the ocean, alhtough those have been cut back too. Plus a few land based Minuteman and Peacekeeper missles. The Minutman are being converted to a single warhead from a 3 warhead MIRV, and the Peacekeepers are being withdrawn from service, even though they are decades newer than the Minutemen. Maybe it would be a good idea to pull some of those tactical nukes out of storage, and/or divert a few B-1Bs that are currently slated for the boneyard (30%+ of the total force) and send them to sit strip alert in S. Korea, loaded with gravity bombs. Of course the money to operate them isn't there, the money saved by mothballing the 30% is slated to keep the others flying, including funding some upgrades and other long needed maintence type stuff.
It's begining to look like JeffHead's 3rd and later installments of his book series may be be obsolete before he gets them written, printed and into distribution. Scary, very scary.
