I don't think he's THAT old.OK, I see your point. I don't remember the Civil War. Let me ask Navy Pride about that one. :mrgreen:

Close, maybe.
Nobody's as old as dirt...well, I suppose it depends on the age of the dirt.I am an old fart. In fact, I am as old as dirt, and Navy Pride has me beat. LOL.

But it could be really young dirt.
Like, 5 years.
LOL. Anyways, back on topic -> We are in South Korea because North Korea invaded it, and they would do it again in a New York minute, if they saw the opportunity. On top of that, they look for every opportunity to cause mayhem, like in the sinking of the South Korean ship. And don't forget that it was North Korea that got caught sending nuclear technology to Iran. For these, and many other reasons, we should take them out.
My concern is we don't have the supplies/money to start something with a third country.
the korean war was remarkable for the speed of its advances and the suddenness of its reversals
in june of 50 kim's daddy invaded super suddenly and overwhelmed all opposition
within weeks the enemy were at the heel, pusan
the pusan perimeter held
then macarthur pulled off his brilliant amphibious operation at inchon, halfway up the peninsula on the west side
he got behind the enemy
just as suddenly and swifty as kim surged south, we were now advancing north, and within weeks we were back at the parallel
truman made the decision to go and we invaded the north
within weeks we were at the yalu river, the border with china
then one night in the winter of 50 one million Chinese suddenly invaded
super fast south raced the armies til they were soon back at the parallel
there, momentums halted
we entered negotiations which are still ongoing as the north is an impossibly notorious negotiator
fyi
