"The Grisly Aftermath of the Battle of Tabuwon" Topic

"Cho Chi-hun was born on December 3, 1920, in Yongyang, North Kyongsang Province, in what is now eastern South Korea. After graduating from Hyehwa College in 1941, Cho taught at Odaesan Buddhist College until Korea, with the end of World War II in 1945, was liberated from 35 years of Japanese rule and split at the 38th parallel into two sovereign nations, with the Soviet Union occupying the north and the United States the south. In 1947, a year after founding the Association of Young Writers and serving as the president of the Society of Korean Poets, Cho became a professor at Korea University. While he went on to publish several collections of poems, he is probably best known for his poems on the Korean War, which broke out in 1950 amid escalating tensions between the two rival superpowers.

Looks like the "truce" with NK may be taking a turn for the worst, since the "Dear Leader's" sister seems to be taking a more active role in "negotiations", and apparently ordered one of the admin buildings used for them on the border blown up.

Gotta love their silly little tantrums in order to get attention, and to try to press us for more "free stuff".

They should be completely ignored.

Yeah I saw that on the news. We went on alert many times, set up ambushes, etc. When I was with a forward deployed Mech Bn just South of the DMZ or on the it. For 22 months, '84-'85. When Un's daddy was in charge.

It's a criminal nations, with 40% of it's people starving. The only think that keeps him alive is he can hit Seoul before we could shut him down. He knows he's got one shot and then it's game over. For him and his cronies. If he or any of his retinue survived a war they'd be up on charges of Crimes Against Humanity, etc. etc.

He's not getting any headlines with everything else is going on. So he has to show his people, the ones that are not starving, he is still relevant … Even though with all the US & ROK firepower if we were not concerned about the South's taking civilian casualties. We'd turn his little tiny criminal nation into a moonscape.

But many younger South Koreans feel why unify, when bringing the North into the 20th let alone 21st Century? It could bankrupt the South.
