Are you aware of the special camps in North Korea for children and families, and the torture they undergo regularly? Thousands or tens of thousands of them, not 200 and some.

Should we invade Norkland to rescue them? If not, why not? Because the Norks have a very non-trivial military and (possibly) usable nukes?

Does that change the moral imperative or do we only bluster about making threats about invading countries that are unable to fight back effectively? Christianity on the cheap.

I was going to ask a similar question about line drawing, but didn't have the example you brought up. I'm sure there are a few hostage situations a year, any one of which might benefit from the use of trained use of force of violence. If the criteria for stepping in is "it's the Christian thing to do," then there is no end to the work.

There is also the point that the US is not the only country that has Christians.

But, ultimately, SoConPubbie is fully invested in his position, and discussion on the point is nothing but argument for the sake of argument. Nobody's position will be changed, and the use of US Special Forces doesn't hinge on the outcome of this thread.
