Very glad to read this.
In a sad sort of way.
Glad things are that solidly in place to take decisive action vs hem haw around about it while Soeul sp? is overran or obliterated.
I travel to Korea for business a couple times a year and that's what I've been told by people who I thought at the time should know. Having thought it through a bit more, G*d only knows what policy changes may have been put in place by the brass the
Sinkmeister had eight years to put in place. Hopefully, things are now back on a firm footing.
On the face of it, one would think there really aren't a lot of conventional options for 37,000 against a million man corps of fanatics primed to go, even when you add in what the ROK forces can do. I'd certainly welcome critiques from anybody with better and more up-to-date information. The Korean terrain favors defense and maybe things aren't on such a hair-trigger. This shield pounding by the North Koreans is probably mostly noise, but it can't be entirely ignored.
