Default Re: Do we have the troops and infrastructure to fight North Korea?

Please correct me if you disagree, but I've gone under the assumption that we always have a fully armed Ohio class sitting in the Sea of Japan waiting for NK to either launch at an ally, (or invade the south), and that this is the only real deterent we have in that region. Given that the troop levels we have there can only be considered a token presence when compared with the standing army in the North.

Though, I believe the GW is preparing for a tour in Japan in the next year, so I would imagine that is also meant to send a message.
