In the spirit of having served in the Armed Forces, the term is not used to diminish our soldier's espirit de corps but to diminish our so-called leaders, war hawks, chicken hawks and the bull crap they spout about protecting US while killing others, wasting American resources and putting our children on the line. It has become tiresome for a lifetime.

I really don't know if you are correct in saying that the only way to end the N Korean threat would be with a nuclear attack. We have many new technologies ready for testing. But I do agree that doing so would kill many of the people I want to save. It has been 10 years since the article you reference was written. Its a very good article, thanks.

I found a rebuttal you may want to look at. It isn't much of a rebuttal, but interesting nonetheless.

I'd prefer to review a more recent war games report pitting US war tech against NKorea's war tech.

America has 10 years of recent warfare experience and a virtually unlimited military budget to purchase the most effective ways to wage war. And still, we cannot defeat the Taliban. With boots on the ground taking retina scans and DNA and eyes in the sky watching every move on the ground. That is a sad commentary. I think the days of boots on the ground are gone. We can't justify putting baitboys on IEDs anymore. Soldier fodder is just too expensive nowadays. So I don't think that a lot of American lives will be put at risk to be lost in our next war. But I may be wrong about that too.

Less than a month ago, on April 19th, Leon Panetta said the U.S. was 'within an inch of war' with North Korea.

You make an excellent point when analysts distort the truth and depict North Korea as an "impoverished" nation, starving and on the brink of imminent collapse. An impoverished, starving nation cannot face down a military superpower. It would be a mistake to underestimate N Korea's willingness and capabilites to defend itself.

Also lets say that South Korea would be put at risk and China would get mad, and Obama doesn't want another war, nor the American people. Meanwhile human beings are being subjugated and that is maddening.
