    This is pretty much where your accusations started. Tell me where I said South Korea wanted to be Communist. Then we can move on, unless you want to ignore the question again.

    Yeah, sorry, that was another poster. Both of you are kind of annoying, so it was hard to tell the difference.

    And stop with the ambulance thing. That horse is screaming for mercy...

    Almost two years away from your family is hard, period, and spending any amount of time doing something where you had the chance you wouldn't come back is crazy to me. Never understood how other people could shoulder that. I didn't have a family so that was thankfully one less burden on me. But, as it sounds, I'm glad everything worked out.

    Did you happen to see any of the strike on Baghdad? Just curious.

    Dude, you're the one attacking the US for "invading" the peaceful North Koreans yet are remaining completely silent on the fact the North Koreans are the ones who invaded the South.

    Wrong. For one, you keep saying I am remaining silent about North Koreans invading the South as if I'm denying it. I am not saying anything about it because it is an obvious and well known fact. Second, I am not saying anything about it because I never said anything against it to begin with. I keep trying to bring you back to my point that the US intervened in that conflict because it feared the spread of Communism, but you are clinging to your non-event.

    So, kindly stop making your own arguments and accusing me of things I didn't do. If you want to discuss why you think a nuclear war is possible, that's cool, but pestering me to confirm information I never denied and is obvious is annoying, espeially when it seems the only reason you are doing it is to save face.

    Concerning the Korean War, there was some pretty nasty forms of warfare going on there anyway. One might say the US was practicing on alternatives to nuclear force with chemical warfare and widespread destructive agents just like in the Vietnam war. As an example of the possibility of a nuclear war, all war is an example of it's possibility, but I just find it, in this case, highly unlikely. At least, it is very unlikely nuclear weapons will be used against a country that can use them against us. No past examle shows us a nation willing to follow through with that policy of mutual destruction. Unless I am wrong...

    Actually you made it appear the United States was the aggressor by attacking North Korea. Additionally, you've indicated that it was wrong for the United States to assist South Korea in their defense against the invading North Koreans, but have not said one ill word about the wrongness of the North Koreans attacking the free South nor China's part in assisting them. Why?

    I am not talking about the wrongness of North Koreans, and really wasn't talking about the Korean War as much as I was criticizing the belief that it was something the US had to intervene with. I'm not trying to discuss every angle of the Korean War. I brought it up in an response relating to the use of nuclear weapons as an option in conflict. I did not say that North Korea was good or evil, and don't care. I'm talking about nuclear war being a highly unlikely event, especially between two super-powers.

    If you are done with your accusations, now based on your view of "indications", and want to discuss "nuclear war as a possibility" that is fine. If you want to talk about what you think of North Korea, you are free to start a new thread.
