Listen buddy, I don't want to embarrass you this morning, so I am going to temper my comments. North Korea could not feed a standing army for two weeks of engaged combat. If we were at war against North Korea, we would turn their lights off by taking out their nukes, and let them starve. Use your head.
China is a defensive oriented military structure. If they come outside their region, we destroy them like pigs in a puddle. We have no strategic need to attack them on their soil. Were China to become offensive, we would vaporize them.
None of that speaks to the subject, which is IRAQ, and what is needed or not needed there. We are not in Iraq to conquer the place, we are there as liberators. That means killing their captors, which we are certainly capable of doing without your 25 divisions.
The days of the large standing Army are long over. The only thing that massive numbers of troops do well today, is slow down CBU fragments. The U.S. is not interested in expanding or holding new territory. We only wish to kill those who #uck with us.
