Ya'll fooled me. I hate it when that happens.

I thought maintaining an armistice might be considered peacekeeping. Thanks for correcting me.


Deterrent is the proper word. And at that, it doesn't matter whether it's 1,000 or 30,000. With the size of the North Korean army, the only plausible option in stopping them is with the use of tactical nukes. The US troops are not a deterrent alive, they are a deterrent dead.

Hang onto your hat though. We just may end up on that humanitarian mission to NK yet. What would be more humanitarian that relieving them of their nukes.

It's certainly not going to because the North Koreans are starving or under a brutal dictator. Which was the original point anyway. Thanks for your cooperation and opinion.
