Korea

The current situation worries me.  While North Korea has used military aggression  since the end of the Korean War to antagonize South Korea, South Korea has shown great restraint.  North Korea has tried to assassinate the South Korean President numerous times.  It has blown up a South Korean Airline.  In the 1960s both sides and the US were basically at a low intensity conflict.

While it is not in the best interest of South Korea to allow this to blow up to a full blown conflict.  It also can not allow this aggression to continue or grown and it must strike back in a calculated military manner.  The US must seriously consider taking prudent military steps to be ready for the unthinkable and support the south Koreans in what ever means necessary.

Also the causalty rate with be similar to the first Korean war.  The same goes for the rate we lose equipment to combat.  I hope we are ready.
