    North and South Korea are still at war with each other. It's just been a really, really long cease fire.

    But think about it: we might get another run of M*ASH out of it.

    I'd be a little worried about a 1,000,000 standing army, our entire armed forces isn't much bigger than that, and that includes National Guard, and Reserves.

    Yep, and they've got lots of guns. No ammo, but lots of guns. And very little live fire training.

    It all sounds spooky when it's normally presented, but you peel the onion and it suddenly becomes a lot less frightening.

    That's why the military doesn't sweat NK particularly.

    Just like the last time we were visiting the property with them in possession of guns?
