yeah, im doing NROTC in college, THEN the marines. hoorah!
edit (bumped the enter button >.<) - yeah, the situation in Russia when the hardliners kidnapped Gorbachev was because he started pulling out the funds on the missiles and doing something about the rampant poverty in the country.
edit - this came to my mind as i was cleaning a bit and came across some WWII notes, the way NATO is set up (theoretically), if some one were to attack the united states in any way, nations in NATO like the UK would aid in the defense, as we would if the UK were attacked. so do the question becomes does kim REALLY want war with the US, because it would probably mean war with britain for him as well. just a thought

Well of course he doesn't want war, mutually assured destruction is an insane policy.

Fuck NATO man, NATO is just as bad as the UN. Coalition troops are generally 90% us. Minus a few cases (Serbia). Kim Jong Ill will not openly attack us or any free nation for that matter because an unprovoked attack is death for him and he knows it.

I guess new reports show that there was no nuclear detonations, becuase of no evidence of radioactivity in the region. Also seismic reports note that the blast was at the same scale of a conventional explosion.

Figures the press has ways of BLOWING things way out of preportion, and I HEAVILY agree with Damo about the U.N. they can get real tough at the confrence table but when the shit goes down the first and only ones they look at to answer the call is the U.S. Those bastards expect us to aid every conflict the start but when we need help they don't show up!
