I believe there's only one way out of this situation. No one in North Korea wants to be there under this rule. We should all go in, take him out, remove the border and the South Korean President becomes the new Korean president. And now North Korea turns into a modern, contributing, safe, and prosperous nation. Families will finally be reunited and free. Pretty soon we'll be forced into this.

I served along the Czech-German border before the fall of the Soviet Union. I didn't see it at the time, but I was watching the Eastern block fall apart. I also served 2 tours in the DMZ. North Korea is an empty shell. Keep up the sanctions and North Korea will fall on it's own.

I don't understand anyone who would say invade. Look how well that's worked out lately and wouldn't we have to deal with China?

If there was reunification, is the South ready for the financial impact on their country? When the wall came down in Germany, the West was drawn down by the economic demands shortfalls of the east, plus the lack of work ethic (compared to the west) in a significant number of workers.
In this case, the work ethic won't be a problem, but the economic conditions more dire, resulting in a greater drain on the South Korean economy.
Essentially, it's instant welfare demand for half the reunified country.

Sp4 Byron Skinner…NKorea is a rather complex issue that appears not to be understood by US Intelligence…First to Break Down the issues. None of the five alleged nuclear test by NKorea has been verified by any independent source. Og the "ICBM's" tested only one could maybe be called a success. The problem is the Nkoreas are using the same Russian Topol 1 that has ailed for the Russians and The Chinese in the DF 21 family of fictions missiles…Nkorea serves a strategic purpose for China because it serves as a buffer to South Korea which is allied with the US. The Chinese really don't want a SKorea on its border even though economic ties between SKorea and China have become very strong in recent decades. Finally Nkorea is a Chinese problem, let China deal with it. The US doesn't have to police every rogue state in the world. The countries historically have run their course and if not invaded will self destruct. NKorea deserves far less attention then it is getting.

I agree with every thing you say except now they are the crazy uncle, but with a nuke.

Look at North Korea before you decide to send our forces up there. It's a very difficult place to operate, lots of mountain ridges, very canalized terrain. The DPRK has had decades to fortify their home turf. Taking away their ability to strike the RoK or Japan will not be easy. I don't necessarily have the answer, but think first before you decide to go stomping into that place.

Napalm and carpet-bombing aren't very effective against well-built field fortifications, SSgt Brad Becker. Look at the preparatory pounding Iwo Jima got before the U.S. troops landed, and what it still cost to seize that small bit of dirt.

Oh I don't want to send in any men, I want to carpet bomb them, 1000 pounders, napalm, nukes if you think we can get away with them turn their land into a waste land. 24 hours a day 7 days a week every aircraft we have that can carry a bomb. Smart bombs, dumb bombs. Think of Iwo Jima but we sit back and keep firing , no landing . Get the ammo factories working in high production. Build them, ship them, use them as fast as we can.

I have seen napalm let me tell you that was a hell of a weapon until Bill Clinton took it away. Said it was inhuman. White Phosphorus is not inhuman but Napalm is??? Bill also removed all the American land mines protecting GITMO. Bill wanted to give back GITMO to the Cubans in the 1990’s. GITMO where I served for one year as a perimeter guard rifle Platoon Sgt. Is a great place to keep the nasty people you don’t have any place else for there are wild Pythons, American Salt water Crocodiles, Sharks, Barracudas, in the water. On the Cuban side they have a mine field there is no where to run away to. Never Give away GITMO it is an American Marine battlefield Marines died taking that base, we should never give it back. We have bleed for that land and that land is American soil, given as a gift by the Cuban people we freed from the Spanish.

TSgt Frank Shirley - You are right I only care about American children and that they do not grow up in fear. I will do any thing to protect this country. In WW2 we destroyed Germany Men, Women, Children, total war we won. In WW2 we destroyed Japan we killed men , women and children and forced them to surrender with out even landing a single man into their home land. North Korea is no Germany, they are no Japan. They are all wrapped right now in one little tight TGT . All we need to do is destroy them. level the place. We are doing our selves and the world a favor. When an animal has rabies you have to kill it before it can spread the dieses.

No disrespect SSGT, but this is a monumentally stupid idea. The United States government is already way too financially overextended as it is, and our military is stretched even thinner than our budget. Plus, what little information comes out of North Korea paints the picture of their government modernizing their military with technology and systems that equal ours. If the USA went to war with North Korea again, for any reason, it would be a long, protracted standoff. Just like the 1950's.
And to think your reason is philosophical?? Going to war just because "it's time to liberate the North Korean people for Justice and Freedom." Are you crazy, or just a "special" kind of moron? The North Korean government currently poses no major threat to the people or territory of the United States. All indications are that if the United States leaves the North Korean nation alone, they will leave us alone.
Your justification for taking the US military to war is the most juvenile and greedy reason I have ever heard.

SFC Travis Stoufer, did you even read my comment?? My whole point was that the USA can not.afford another war right now. And I never even mentioned a draft.

Draft is a good way to make the Military even worse. With the new kinder gentler Military how would you train thousands of men and women who do not even want to serve. It was terrible in the 60's and 70's. The all Volunteer Military raised the quality of our Military 80-100%. Making men who don't want to serve into fighting men would be a terrible idea. They won't fight , they won't obey orders. You can't hit them, they would not care if you kick them out, they don't want to be there from the start. We once had a man from the reserves who some how was activated because he broke his contract. He was the biggest dirt bag we had. I meant old draftees even the ones who stayed in and reenlisted where a little off. Yes the Marines have drafted to make up short falls in at least WW2, Korea and Vietnam. My father in law served in the Navy he says he remembers being lined up at MEPS and having the biggest men picked out of line and sent to the Marines. He said he always wondered how many lived. it was before Saipan. Iwo Jima, Okinawa. Philippines invasion.

Only if we're going to do it the "right" way. Go in, kill anyone that doesn't look like us, impose our terms of surrender.

Why your a Korean American?? Well in WW2 we sent the Japanese and some other Asian Americans to fight the Germans. Then no problem. You can go fight ISIS. We used German and other Europeans to fight the Japanese.

There's not enough juice in this for the squeeze. It would cost trillions of dollars to merge the two countries, not counting the cost of the war. Also, have you noticed how close Seoul is to the DMZ? Millions of innocent lives right there...the carnage would be unthinkable. We may have to take the fight north some day, but we should only do so as a last resort, and not do so in a cavalier manner.

The South Koreans have been closely studying the reunification of East and West Germany as a model for what might happen in Korean reunification. There were some serious economic and social issues in reuniting the prosperous West and the well-educated but impoverished East. North Korea is much worse off than East Germany ever was. Many of the DPRK's people are chronically under-nourished, impoverished and psychologically they have been tortured for decades. Reuniting Korea will be very expensive and may take 10-20 years, time to raise a generation of people who haven't been brainwashed and terrified by the Kim family and their torturers.

I think perhaps we should suggest that China invade and take it over NK. That way China not threatened by us and we are rid of a big pain in the butt.

Regret that the Chinese do not want to subdue and occupy the DPRK. In fact, the very last thing they want is for the DPRK to collapse, because that would fill the Chinese border area with starving North Koreans seeking food and shelter. China doesn't have he capacity to feed millions of North Koreans, and neither does the ROK. We need a more gradual solution, but when the Kim regime goes, it will almost surely go down ery quickly and violently. It's a wickedly difficult problem to solve; how to keep the DPRK from using nukes on its neighbors when the ruling criminal family is on the verge of being overthrown.
