I would like to ask for a moment

I just don't understand why someone would think they've got the right to tell someone else what they can and cannot do in their own home... telling SOUTH Korea that they cannot 'do exercises' with the US on their own soil just seems like my neighbor trying to tell me my kids can't play tag (quietly) in our front yard. WTHeart does that have to do with you? It's not your grass being stepped on? It's not your child who might trip? You aren't the one paying for the sneakers that get worn. So what's your problem? Afraid they'll be able to run away quickly should you try and attack them and you'd rather they were slow? Ahhh yes that's precisely it. You want your neighbor weak and unprepared should a predator (you) decide to attack. If you had no intention of attacking then their readiness wouldn't bother you at all. Thus it's pretty obvious (to me at least) what your motives are.

Well, from what I am seeing...

NK (Who is led by a sick man who is surely insane) is mad at us for practicing drills, so they want to stamp their feet and declare war. Thus, they'll send their cute little nukes over to SK and/or Hawaii, and we retaliate. Unless he's REALLY DUMB and tries to nuke Japan. Then he can just go to... y'know. That place they talk about in Dante's Inferno.

Well for all of our sake, let's hope it is another idle threat.

However, if they do decide to pull something, there is no room for a kind retaliation.

Gloves off.

Man, I gotta make my kids turn off Nickelodeon some. I didn't even know about this until now. This is concerning. I too wonder if he is serious, he has threatened so many things. But...we don't know so I say take it very serious and don't let our guard down. I am very concerned for our country too.

Didn't the sacred war start two days ago?

I'd like to kick that little attempted-bully in the cajones, in public. Then I'd take his lunch money and make him apologize, in front of his friends.

I agree with a previous poster. If there was any real meat to the threat our bases would be on lockdown.

I remember how our air force base reacted to a threat during the start of the first Gulf War, when I was a teen ager. I'm sure that's what would happen now if there was a dire threat.

But yes Boyd, it's a good reminder that there is always risk when one joins the military and to say thank you for those willing and able to take that risk.
