re: #806 Kenneth
My first cousin (RIP) was with the US Marines at Chosun Reservoir and would second your comment - except that he was a machine gunner, not a tanker.
But he also said that those Chinese won largely because our weapons froze from constant firing and that ammo was a major problem.
Whether we like it or not (and I certainly don’t) it would appear that this administration is going to be content to let the NORKS strike first - the Trillion dollar question is whether or not the Chinese would fight along side them.
And I’d bet that they wouldn’t. A Starving NORK, with nukes and a Million men under arms on THEIR border, can’t make the Chinese particularly comfortable, especially with a psychotic in charge of NORK and the son of psychotic waiting in the wings.
