NEWS: North Korea Shells South Korea 11/23/10

"It was one of the most serious attacks by the North on its neighbor since the Korean War ended in 1953. "

Just wanted to hear other future Marines/Marines opinions on this topic. It's still unclear how the United States will deal with this.

I have a feeling the U.S. will not act directly until our troops are put in danger. The White House will condemn North Korea, but as we have seen in the past, that doesn't mean anything. What we will most likely try to do is put pressure on China to use it's influence to cool North Korea down and make them back off. Ultimately it's up to South Korea to make it's next move.

As a Korean and as a poolee waiting to ship out, it makes me want to go even more. Just got my infantry MOS on contract too.

"Now at the Brink of War"

[Wenzel]

Not entirely sure if another attack will take place. China is not putting some pressure on North Korea, so I actually think things will cool down for a while.

There was never actually a peace treaty made to end the Korean War, right? Technically, they're still at war.

[Wenzel]

Just an Armistice. They are at war.

[Kiri]

That's what I thought.

We should just let the South off the leash we put on em and let them have a field day.

i agree. if we let the south go we would help to. war is only inevitable with the south and the north. why let them build more nukes and a bigger military? we should euthanize the dog now!

We're not holding the South back, we're keeping the North away. The North would kick the South's ass if we weren't there.

heck yea! I don't want to go to unnecessary war, but honestly, they've been messing with South Korea for so long, I think it's time we gave them an upper cut to the chin
