North Korea: why bother with a test?

Quote:

Spoken like a true arrogant american. If you think equipment and funding makes an army you'd better go review your sources, last i checked an army with DVDs in tanks feels way less like an army than ones where you're forced to kill live animals with your teeth to survive, "oh hell i forgot my Mp3 player in the humvy, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE HERE!!".

No disrespect meant towards the US military, but ponder what i said while you exhaust your "we're the best military in the world" propaganda. This ain't a Muscle flexing competition, one thing's for sure though, you're one proud american. Congrats.

I partly agree with what you said, equipment and funding does not make an army because the chief incalculable in war is the human dimension. However, as the means to wage war improves through technological development, so must the tactical and operational means to adapt to the improved capabilities. If the OPFOR is far behind us in terms of equipment and funding, he will inevitably be overcome by violent and rapid changes in which he cannot cope.

Oh, and your Mp3 example was just sheer stupidity.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, we are working on something called a smart bullet that is meant to save lives. There's a computer that basically puts up a dome of safety around something that needs to be protected. When the computer detects munitions, it fires a bullet that explodes near the incoming round and veers it off course. I most likely saw this on the History or Military channel, but it is definitely interesting technology we should continue to develop. I'm pretty sure we can do the same with missiles, just bigger ordinance to knock it out.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I say good idea. The course of war is shaped by decisions and non-decisions. If anything, we should go for a pre-emptive strike of that missile because any decision at this point is better than no decision. As the article said, a successful launch of the missile would only stiffen North Korea's resolve to develop bigger, badder missiles that can truly wreak some damage on the world. Stop it now before it escalates.
