Soldier Mom,
Unfortunately, what will happen will happen and there is nothing worrying about your son will do except make you and probably him miserable. Know that deployment to the Korean penisula has had risks since the cease-fire was negotiated. It’s a tinderbox, but a long-standing one with great implications if lit off, and that is in your and our favor.
Chances are, the rattling will continue, but no breakout. I pray for your piece of mind and your son, and all the other military serving in Korea. I remember, in the 80′s, when I was in the Army, things got a bit hot a couple of times and I heard from buddies of mine that were stationed there of the things they endured.
It’s a ridiculous situation that we are still sitting there, under a truce, of a 60 year old war; always ready, but vulnerable. We would win any conflict, no question. Obviously those that are right there are at the greatest risk though. Hang in there. At least with the internet and modern phones your son will be in closer contact with you ( or can be ) than ever before.
