    I read this in the morning, didn't know if anyone else would be interested. Seems like it's showing up on more and more sites, so:

    To respond to the question in the OP ... Tell China to reign in fatboy or we don't want to hear any crying from them if WE do it. Kim is not really an issue. China's reaction to us going after him is the issue.

    Dynamics and technology are way different. For us. China could not beat us in a war. Their military technology is based on duplicating Russian junk and their war plan is based on overwhelming numbers. The latter is their advantage tactically. We can beat that. Korea is a peninsula.

    The question would be how far they willing to escalate?

    They have the numbers. But an idiot with a rifle is an idiot WITH A RIFLE. An idiot can shoot you just as dead as a sniper. In the Korean War, they overwhelmed us with numbers. And they STILL didn't win. They tried their best to take out the Marines and while the Marines withdrew to the cover of Naval firepower, they (the gooks) got their asses kicked the whole way and we brought home all our dead. The Battle of the Chosin Resovoir is famous in Marine Corps history. We had to fight our way out against the Chinese Army and we didn't take no shit.

    And yes I said "we". Ain't a football game. We're all brothers in blood.
