Honestly with a little air support from us the Republic of korea could take the North, "No Sweat",
I hate all these BRAC's though since the nearest base to my kids is 2.5 hours away and a Navy base (not too Joint Service)
at that. Happens if you move to a state with little political clout.

Based on the name of your facility it sounds like your workplace is pretty safe from the next round.

Yeah I think that was part of the reason for giving it such a hefty tounge-twisting name.

To Kim Jong Ill, this will be seen as weakness on the part of the Americans and he will act bolder in any action he takes.


Actually, it would send a strong signal to Kim. That should we desire, we could reach out and touch him (B-52's would fix the nuclear reactor issue fairly quickly) without having 37,000+ soldiers (and their families) within easy tag-back range. For all of NK's bluster, I don't think they really want us out of SK. They have made a big deal about making issues as being between the US and NK, and not having to do anything with their own neighbors. If we pull out, then that argument becomes a little less viable and they would have to deal more actively with their neighbors on the sticky issues. They resisted the idea of six-way talks on the nuclear issue specifically for this issue. They tried to make it a NK/US issue only. Fortunately, Japan, China, Russia and SK finally saw fit to get in on this one.

There is little doubt (as SSG Geezer points out) that SK could handle NK militarily with little help from the US. The devastation to SK (they've finally decided to move their capital out of Seoul and this was part of the reason - of course by 2014, NK may not be a problem anymore) would be incredible, but the SK military could handle things fairly well. Attacking a SK that is without US forces actually gains them little.

As much as I would rather not create economic upheavel in German communities, I find it hard to justify subsidizing the German economy when we are running huge deficits.
