Re: Do we have the troops and infrastructure to fight North Korea?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Between us and the South Koreans, we have plenty of troops to deal with North Korea. Stu [/ QUOTE ] Not too mention that the NK troops are too hungry to fight effectively... [/ QUOTE ] Actually, those in the military are the only people who eat regularly. It's the civilians who are being starved.

Re: Do we have the troops and infrastructure to fight North Korea?
[ QUOTE ]
The biggest reason war with N. Korea would be such a disaster is not nuclear weapons but the enormous amount of conventional artillery that they possess. They could totally destroy most of S. Korea within hours of an attack and there is nothing that we could do to stop it. We are talking about a minimum of a million dead Koreans if full scale war were to break out. With that fact, it doesn't really matter if we can handle them militarily. [/ QUOTE ] What this points out is that a nuclear response to any attack is likely if we were to arm SK and/or Japan.

Who would have the nuclear response?
