Well, are you still in post-deployment standdown?

It is time to end the bizarre regime in NK. The best way to do this is for the SK gov't to cut a deal with China in exchange for cooperation. Thereafter, the Chinese could advise Kim that it was time to go, and to grease his skids out of town. Kim may be just sane enough to take the offer -- as once did Marcos when the US offered him asylum. When Kim was gone, the Chinese army could move in and take control. Once in control, they would allow SK to assume power and resposibility for the North.

What does leveling a mountain have to do hith a hydroelectric project? Why would they need the electricity when everyone there is in the sh!thole? This is such an obvious lie it's funny.

Although I don't think this is the best plan or notion, due to cost, there is historical precedent for it.
Silla did request the help of China in order to conquer Paekche and Koguryo and unify the peninsula...
Of course, then China tried to stay, but they were quickly kicked out by Silla.

Tommarrow is the last day of stand down but I took the first two weeks of POM so I am back to work now.
Work didn't seem like such chore at sea, but now that I could be doing something else it is torture.

It was probably just some mad scientist.
Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
Look, I just don't anymore, okay?
My greatest wish is to be half the poster MikeH is.
Yeah, first cruis period.
Though I would call it an IO/PG cruise over a Med

Man, you are so outta touch with reality.
Kim is a cult leader. He won't go easily. He'll try and burn the Korean peninsula and everything in his reach as a monument to his divinity.
Marcos took the U.S. offer because he had no choice. Within a very short period, his presidential palace was going to be stormed and he would have been ripped to shreds by angry mobs.
There's only one way to get rid of Kim, the painful way, which is why no one's gonna do it. It's not worth millions of dead Koreans just to get rid of him.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
Me, you, and the 500,000 other members of our proud Navy...Should gone to SD.
WESTPAC, baby.
Which is why I didn't get to go there

of course, to hear some people on this side of the ocean talk, they don't particularly care about the skoreans...

Well, I'm sure there are some nice Koreans. I haven't met any, but I'm sure there've got to be some.

Bastards.
I am hoping for Italy after this tour, plenty of billets for my sort of work. Unfortunelty once I let the detailer know of my willingness to go over there Bahrain becomes an unfortunate alternative. Though you do make alot of money living there.

Apathy's better than the hatred many South Koreans seem to have for us.
KH FOR OWNER!
ASHER FOR CEO!!
GUYNEMER FOR OT MOD!!!
you've never met me, the shame.

Apathy's better than the hatred many South Koreans seem to have for us.
it's easy to ignore the love many others seem to have when all you get are the broadcasted hate.
of course, apathy also makes it easy to suggest things like war, since the people in question don't even factor.

I have seen both love and hate. My question is just how many of each are there. Sometimes it seems the haters outnumber the lovers.
That's not the real world. Your job has little to do with the sort of thing most people do for a living. - Agathon
If social security were private, it would be prosecuted as a Ponzi scheme.
of course it seems that way. an anecdote:
dear abby once asked her readers the question of, given the choice of having children again or not, would they have their kids? strangely enough the results of that highly unscientific poll showed that msot people would rather have not had their kids.
the problem with taking this as fact is that people who complain, people who hate, will almost invariably be noisier, louder, and more noticeable than those who do not.
when people call customer service, rarely is it to say a job well done--it's almost always saying how that company is bad and screwed them over.
it's no different in this case: you'll see a huge protest with claims of maybe a million against the us, when odds are it's about a hundred thousand, and the other nine hundred thousand were trying to get past the protest to go to their office. you'll hear about the people who beat up white tourists because they think the tourists are american, but you won't hear so much of the people who buy the tourists a meal, or offer a place to stay.
bad news travels. good news does not.

It really all depends on just how persausive the Chinese are. True Marcos left because he almost had no choice. Kim has to be convinced that he has no choice as well.Originally posted by chegitz guevara
