Tensions are Heating up on the Korean Peninsula

Posted May 26th, 2010 by OldWarrior

If you are keeping up with the news about Korea you will know that things are seriously heating up right about now. Personally I think that the sinking of the Cheonan was about the biggest bonehead move that North Korea could have ever made.

Both sides have ramped up the rhetoric lately. South Korea has cut all diplomatic and economic ties with North Korea. It has also stopped allowing North Korean commercial ships to sail through its waters.

North Korea has responded in kind saying that it will not allow South Korean ships or aircraft to use its sea or air space. In addition they have expelled South Korean diplomats from the Kaesong Industrial Park.

Now let me drop some knowledge on you who may or may not be my military ring customers who have not served in Korea. North Korea may be the aggressor but don’t be fooled into thinking that the South Koreans are a pushover. They will clean your clock son. An attack by anyone on South Korea would not be a piece of cake. South Korean soldiers are just as tough as the North Koreans but the North Koreans are more brutal. I have had the priviledge of seeing both sides. Our military ring customers serving in the Second Infantry Division are just as tough as any soldiers anywhere in the US Army. US and South Korean soldiers would certainly repel a North Korean invasion.
