North Korea is stepping up pressure on the US and South Korea to cancel a major military exercise due to begin next month, with a senior official warning that the drills will push the peninsula “to the brink of war”.

[JimSEA]

Yes, the annual rattling of rage sabers.

[Mark17]

Yep. I remember both Team Spirit. Good times. (And, sometimes wet and cold times!)

I had friends take part in both Team Spirit, and Cope Thunder. I took part in Reforger.

[MeshugeMikey]

Its horribly predictable and always has the same ludicrously arrogant tone.

I guess when almost your entire country is eating dirt ya have to act like a big guy....to save face

It’s called Key Resolve now. When the Norks stop complaining about the exercise, that’s the time to start worrying.

[JimSEA]

The thing that keeps you paying attention is the continuing instability of the Dear Leaders.

Never did Reforger.

Thank you for your service, by the way!

Thank you for the clarification.

I have asked a number of younger airmen here in San Antonio who have served in Korea if they still have “Team Spirit.” I am usually greeted with a blank stare!

[Mark17]

Thank you.

[man_in_tx]

You are quite welcome!

here in San Antonio

I was in Del Rio for 9 years, a pilot training base, but I spent a ton of time in San Antonio too.

Funny. I have never laid eyes on Del Rio.

San Antonio must have been great when you were here — before we had a Marxist Mayor shilling for Amnesty and making this city a “Sanctuary” for law-breakers, or illegal aliens (now more gently referred to as “undocumented immigrants”).

Places in this city that EXPECT you to speak Spanish now.

I left Del Rio in 1980, to Germany, got to California in 84, and just left there this past November. My tag line used to be: "California, where English is a foreign language." It isn't just Spanish either.

Great (former) tagline!

California: The Third World Country we are all becoming.

I’ve done 3 Team Spirits and lost track of how many Cope Thunders. Fun times.

Apologies for the late reply: Wow! I can see your three Team Spirits, but you have me on the Cope Thunders!

Agreed: Fun times. (Different times, as well.)
