As I recall, you are the one that whines about why Klinton gets no
respect.  Clean up your act first.  You have been practicing unacceptable
and stupid things on this list for a long time.

As YSK has well known for posting stupid and incomplete information, I am
challenging him to get his act together.  Just like you need to get your
act together.

I know what kind of Artillery, armored vehicles, and there were a few but
not many, and the small arms that were available to the ROK Army.  You
and YSK don't.
