Well thank you very much General MacArthur, for that detailed analysis of Chinese intentions. You know he said the very same thing in 1950 and it got a lot of our people killed, not to mention causing the longest retreat in American Military history so please spare me the sarcasm.

And about the "nuclear bullseye", does that mean that we should just leave S. Korea- Oh my gosh, we might be in danger! Lets get out of there! How about Japan, that's in the 'nuclear bullseye" too! I guess we should just let North Korea be then... Gee, I would have loved to have seen your strategy for the Cold War!
And what purpose would it serve to put more troops in Korea General? You think the South Koreans are going to allow this? We have trouble keeping the troops we have there already, let alone adding an invasion force, and that's exactly what it would be seen as.
