I just read that more troops are leaving Korea and the South Koreans are worried....too Bad! :warstory:
S_Baker said:Regardless of how it plays out IMHO (I was stationed there) we need to leave post haste! There is no reason for US forces to be there and I am of the opinion that if attacked South Korea can take care of it all by their lonesome, the Koreas are not worth one American life, besides I am sure the United Nations with France and Germany's lead can figure it out, lately they seem to have all the answers! :warstory:

There are only 30,000 or 40,000 based in Korea right now, and realistically, if Kim Jung Il gave the orders to invade the South, they would be promptly mowed down in a matter of hours. There is no way 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers, no matter the technology they have at their disposal, can hold off a 1 million man army so fiercely loyal to their leader.
Sherwood I was in Inchon back in 73 and met a few G.I.'s from the A.A.M. base and had a good time on base in the Mess even with my long hair.Most of the guys were draftee's but did enjoy Korea on the whole.S_Baker said:Since this is a CDN Army Board, how about instead of a "token" US presence, we change that to a "token" Canadian presence > I do like the new icons ;D

That's not true. The US could just get all there AC-130 Gunships and various fighters and bombers and mow them all down before they even cross the border.
