We are in a very dangerous position in South Korea. We have enough forces deployed there to suffer a lot of casualties, but not enough to turn the tide against a DPRK onslaught.

Agreed. As I recall, Hackworth's main achievement as a battlefield commander was in setting up battles his men could WIN without undue casualties. He has a good nose for sucker traps and this is a big one.

Well, of course! No soldier, from private to General, is trained to play fair with the bad guys. The best always set up the table so that they win. You hit 'em where they're weakest and it hurts the most.
