Why not N. Korea: A Window into the Right Wing Mind.

[BrentWill4U]

I saw this posting on a conservative message board. How far away from reality are these guys?

The main threat that North Korea has is their FA threat. However, those FA pieces are old and many have been there since the end of the Korea War. Moreover, they don’t have the technical intel, such as real time imagery of South Korea, that would allow them to use their FA to the best of their ability. I think a lot of those FA rounds would land in empty rice paddies. Also we would have the time needed to take out the FA pieces. If they don't know an attack is coming, they will have to move to the FA piece, load it, and begin to fire. I for one, highly doubt their ability to inflict that much damage if we begin the war by taking out the troops that crew the FA pieces and the FA pieces themselves with air and FA. Our targeting is MUCH better and with satellite imagery, we KNOW where the target is. Our intel has ALWAYS overestimated the threat so that we would be ready for the worse possibly situation.

However, lets look at it N. Korea as what they actually are. They are a starving Army with extremely old equipment. They don’t have the logic ability to sustain a fight and if that Army is moving south, it is walking. In short, I believe that they ARE a paper tiger that occupies a piece of land that is smaller then the state of Mississippi and has fewer then 24 million people in all.

That being said, what do you think will be the end result if we don’t do as I am saying? I believe N. Korea will begin a war sooner or later. The fact is, the leadership is irrational and they are under an extreme amount of pressure, both internally and externally. Sooner or later, they will break and unleash the only option they believe they have, that being to take over a rich industrialized south in order to feed itself. Moreover, sooner or later they will gain a nuclear missile and be able to deliver it. Once that happens, all bets are off.

Lets also look at the aftermath of such a war. We are not talking about a long-term occupation as we have in Iraq. What we are talking about is a short-term operation then we can get out as S. Korea begins the govern the whole country instead of half of it. The fact is, it is one country and one people. There is already a government set up and running well that could govern the whole country.

Some would argue that China may get involved, as they did in 1952. The fact is, China depends too much on trade with the US to endanger that relationship. Moreover, even if they wanted to get involved, they would have to mobilize and we would be to the Yulu river before they could do that.

Why not move to destroy them now. Do not tell the press nor Congress. Keep it at the very top levels of government and develop a plan to move as much forces into the area as possible without alerting the N. Koreans. Then launch an Attack with S. Korea and start deploying everything we have and destroy them quickly. We already have the ROK army there and over 30K troops.

1. Sounds like an excellent idea. It's worked so well in Iraq. The thing

these RW wanker boys never seem to get is that it's one thing to defeat an army, another thing altogether to defeat an entire country. Anyway, if he's so sure of his plan, then why is still typing things on the internet tubes instead of enlisting in our armed forces?

2. Nah..

That would mean sweat, work and a chance of dying. Much better to type it.

3. I always love the guys that write in short, clipped

sentences, using as many acronyms as possible, trying to convey a "military" persona...

note the "logic ability" (meant logistical capability).

makes one wonder about the writers own "logic ability"

4. I assume FA = field artillery. I love sentences like this:

However, lets look at it N. Korea as what they actually are.

5. I think I am going to go edit his grammar mistakes..

Just to make it readable... nah I think it gives the right impression of the right wing intellect the way it is..
