Alot of pesky details regarding the ROK that we don't learn from traditional media, such
as we are effectively in command of their military in wartime which was just extended
again until 2015. Sorry but I didn't know this until the last couple of days of research.

The US through the UN Command has operational control ( OPCON ) with a US
general at the top and an ROK general as 2nd in command. The ROK can't retaliate
unless we approve it, although new rules of engagement are being negotiated.

That being said, it looks like the North should sanely come around with the recent
US-ROK trade pact, and the fact that China-ROK trade is double ours and China wants
more.

China still doesn't want a democracy on their border though, so the North will be
the jealous odd man out. I see what you mean with dem legs.
I wasn't aware of the command structure. I think ROK can probably still attack NK with its forces if it so chose, but they know and we know that would be foolhardy.

Girl's Generation + my yellow fever = all the reason I need to support the defense of South Korea, lol
