<< dont mistake North korea with iraq,North korea are much much stronger,i think they have the third biggest army in the world or something like that,entering North korea would make the U.S lose alot of good men,entering will cause a second vietnam war,and you must'nt forget korea already has nuclear weapons,sh's not like iraq,who the U.S is trying to stop developing A bombs and shit,if korea is put against a wall,it could mean catastrophy. >>



Sounds a lot like what was said of Iraq 11 years ago. Big army. Weapons of mass destruction. 2nd Vietnam war. If put up against a wall, it could mean catastrophy. Yada, yada, yada.

The US has the most technological and outright superior military force in the world. Period. No one is close. North Korea's Nuclear weapons will be take out on our 1st strike. Should they get one to survive and use it, it would be suicidal. We can and will turn that country into the world's largest microwave oven if need be.

The soviet military was the closest to the US. After the Gulf war they were scared sh*$less of us, and for good reason. We've only gotten better. The political fallout is and should be the major concern. If the politicians do not place unreasonable political constraints on the military, we can accomplish our objectives in a couple of weeks tops. The North Korean soldiers will be surrendering in droves at the 1st opportunity. I imagine that the North Koreans are attempting to sell nukes because their economy and their government is tottering on the brink as it is. War with the US will push it from the brink into the abyss.

Yes we will probably lose some men, but most likely very few. The odds are certainly in our favor for war to stop them versus letting them sell bombs to terrorists which could really cause catastrophic loses.
