Having spent several years serving with the U.S. Navy in The Republic of Korea, as well as being married to a Korean woman, I can find no validity in any statement about Korean people disliking America. Yes of course there are students demonstrators, just as there are here in America, and if they happen to be loud and carry some anti America signs well that is just a small but vocal minority. I’ve met many Korean people and every one of them was grateful for our presence in Korean to strike down the attempt by the Communists to take their country. The Korean military is competent, ready, disciplined and fully capable of taking on the N. Koreans should that time every happen. The Korean government supported our efforts in S.E. Asia, sending troops to Vietnam that were so successful and feared that the N. Vietnamese would not engage them unless it was unavoidable. I am probably in a very small minority of Americans but I feel that the only way to really stop the idiocy that is coming from N. Koran is to force an invasion, to cross the DMZ in strength and remove that little tin pot dictator that is holding the people of N. Korea in slavery, in fear of death and in misery.
