How far do you think both sides will go with this? If a major conflict started, how prepared is the U.S. Military to begin any combat actions?

This was a partial temporary halt to allow SK to respond to the shelling. The exercise has resumed.

CW4 (Join to see) Obama strikes again. Why not cave to Fat Boy Leader? What harm could possibly come of it? Of COURSE FBL won't now realize that he can get his way with future, similar threats.
I am disgusted.

True statement ! I might also add embarrassed.Recently read where our allies ( fewer each day ),indicated that to jump in with the US,it would have to be a direct threat to their country. .Another alarming statistic is: 80 % of recruit applications are being turned down.Our Government has us pretty well on Obama`s schedule.

SPC Sheila Lewis, that would interesting. I agree that might be thin uncertain areas, but enacting a draft might not be necessary. In my opinion the current troop reductions would have to be stopped immediately just as a sustainment measure.

Yes, stop troop reductions and mobilize Veterans w/Honorable Discharge, to bolster the current force.

There is no need for a draft, when there have been thousands of military cut. Just bring many of them back. They are already trained.

Regardless probable United States involvement in a Korean conflict, South Korea maintains capable military forces that are properly equipped to defeat North Korea independent United States involvement at the tactical level.

Well, we have a Division Size element there. I think they could hold there own until we could get troops from Hawaii, or Germany there! Just worried about that crazy little B#$$D nuking someone!

I have understood that U.S. ensures the ROK Army has a limited amount of ammunition available due to their propensity to fire at will on the any provocation?

TSgt Hunter Logan, A fast Google search did not confirm either. It is just something from my vast store of useless info.

Kim's latest ultimatum — stop the broadcasts by 5 p.m. Saturday (4:30 a.m. ET) or face military action. Sooooo... The count-down begins...
