We are going to do this with whoever uses a wmd against us...and whoever provides it and anyone else we believe is involved.

It's "Bambi meets Godzilla" to use a Nuke on a Terrorist group. Anything we need to do will be better done conventionally. The only other suggestion would be NK, and I don't believe we would do it there either.

But in any case, mine is a "pipe dream" position as of now. So we will continue to spend Billions to build and maintain Nuke devices I am convinced we would never use.

Me Loved You Long Time

Long posted along Korea's 38th parallel, America's 2nd Infantry Division has kept watch over the volatile Demilitarized Zone. Forward elements of the division harbor no illusions about their role in a new Korean conflagration, planning to act as a "trip-wire" to delay the invading North long enough for the rest of the country to enact its defense plans. For decades overpaid policy-type smart people have credited the 2IDs Korean presence as the cornerstone of a credible deterrent to North Korea, with the added benefit of being really irritating to China.

So we shouldn't be at all surprised that, as part of the continuing effort to refine and improve not only the peninsula's defense posture, but the American Fighting Man, lap dancing at clubs frequented by 2ID soldiers will be prohibited.

Naturally, for our fighting men must preserve the purity of essence of their precious bodily fluids, and not go spilling their seed in the vicinity of Korean trollops like some Oriental Onan!

This is about morals. This is about ethics. This is about making sure that damp underwear, foot fungus, canvas cots and contemplation of the goodness of the Christian God are the sum total of the experience of the American fighting man in between the short episodes of mortal terror that are their raison d' etre. The army's not about fun. It's about unnecessarily bureaucratic solutions to nonexistent problems of soldierly jollies.

If they spill their seed will-he-nill-he, can they not be expected to do the same with their precious ammunition?
