I'd like to know what kind of battle plan that is based on. Any US commander who thinks to put boots on the ground in NK is an idiot who should be stripped of his stars. That is hardly needed to achieve the objective, i.e. regime change. We'd only see casualties like that if we marched right in, which would be rather stupid, given the other tactics available to us.

The NK are fools and are playing a dangerous game. There is no need to put boots on the ground. The US has enough surplus bombs to drop on them till hell freezes over. Then if needed we can pull out the good stuff which will surely put an end to their reign.
...........
Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.), a decorated Vietnam War veteran, said many of those troops are demoralized and poorly equipped and, after more than two years of war, are impeding Iraq's progress toward stability and self-governance.
"Our troops have become the primary target of the insurgency," Murtha said in a Capitol news conference that left him in tears. Islamic insurgents "are united against U.S. forces, and we have become a catalyst for violence," he said. ". . . It's time to bring them home."
........
Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) declared: "Murtha and Democratic leaders have adopted a policy of cut and run. They would prefer that the United States surrender to the terrorists who would harm innocent Americans. To add insult to injury, this is done while the president is on foreign soil."
A few dozen other House Democrats have called for withdrawing from Iraq as soon as possible. But most are liberals who voted against going to war, and they have drawn modest attention. Murtha is a hawkish ex-Marine who voted for the war and has close ties to the military.

Ok , but this is different level , This people are asians , fanatics in war , and more brave then white race . US in second world war must use two nukes to defeat Japs , this country is not a joke , my opinion that this country is not defeatable except if you exterminate them.
Do you have any links or other information as to why we should believe you? Or should we just take your word for it?
The two bombs that were dropped on the Japanese were dropped to put an end to things quickly. Mission accomplished.edit on 8-4-2013 by kimish because: (no reason given)

Hmmm...
I dunno Bro, maybe if we started bussing Americans to N.Korea, unarmed and possibly frail then there might be a number that high.
You do realize that N.Korea is just above stone age with nothing really going for them other than "possible" allies?
Looks like more propaganda to make us fear "the reds"!!
Now that we are quickly running out of brown men...err...people to kill.

You do realize the current Korean service rifle is capable of defeating both US Issue helmets and body armor right?
A gun is a gun, It has bullets, you pull the trigger, it shoots those bullets. Boots on the ground are boots on the ground.
Yada yada yada...

Since this forum is so gung-ho about a possible USA versus North Korea war, we should actually talk about reality here, and not the fantasies and delusions that abound in all the discussions. You know, the "let's turn them Chinese and Koreans into glass" geniuses that dominate all these discussions.
Let's talk about reality. Like how the Pentagon's own simulations and estimates show 250,000 US dead if another full scale war between North Korea and the USA takes place on the Korean peninsula.
The reality of what this would mean is far different from the delusions that are being talked about here in these forums (like, "USA will destroy them Koreans in an hour").edit on 8-4-2013 by Red Cloak because: (no reason given)

I'm not seeing any sources for your claim on the first page.Your thread should be tossed in the trash.
Just because that's what you think would happen,doesn't make it true.
Another star and flag fishing expedition I see.
Not to mention it's laughable that anyone thinks North Korea poses any type of threat to the US.
Seriously people,use your brains sometimes.edit on 9-4-2013 by nightstalker78 because: (no reason given)
