Re: Our Korean Allies

[Mike Davino <mdavino@yahoo.com>]

Good point, but the last I checked the S Koreans had
more than 20 divisions on active duty in their Army
and two Marine Corps divisions.  I don't think that
deploying one or two of them is going to suddenly
cause Kim Jong Il to attack.  It still would be
suicide for him to do so.

We helped them out in 1950 and continue to do so
today.  They should help us out, especially now that
the UN has asked for troops.
