"Dog and pony show" is a colloquial term which has come to mean a highly promoted, often over-staged performance, presentation, or event designed to sway or convince opinion for political, or less often, commercial ends.
I believe the northern also seeks out the tallest soldiers to stand there (apparently not many that are tall) and if I remember right they will even put them in thicker soled boots....
I sincerely wish the North would go ahead and push the button...it would be over in less than an hour. No nukes, just MOAB's on non civilian targets. Unify the north and the south, cut the sanctions and send aid to the survivors. Problem solved.
Honestly, if the north launched on the US does anyone really believe that China or Russia would lift a finger?
just a sample
Yes.
China gets a little worried when we operate on their border with large armed forces.
MacArthur was taking forces through North Korea to the Chinese border. They (China) warned him they would consider that a threat.
Thinking they were bluffing, he continued thru.
Then in Nov of 1950, China launched an attack with 200k men.
My SIL is half South Korean and have had Kimchi, fermented cabbage with a very bad smell and taste in your mouth. I can see why they look so mean after a meal.The South does the same thing those guys who stand there are tae kwon do experts and are the best fed soldiers that South Korea has. If you guys think being in the U.S. Military sucks those guys literaly get payed like $150 buck a month and eat rice and kimchi pretty much there entire service. Kimchi is cabbage by the way.
I had homemade kimchi last night...love the stuff.
