If South Korea was invaded and the war lasted over multiple years, would you join the military? I think I would, it may be one of the defining wars of a generation, although I doubt it would last longer then a few weeks unless China gets involved

[QUOTE="-Big_Red-"][QUOTE="Chickity_China"] NK and SK have been exchanging fire in small, isolated skirmishes ever since the "end" of the Korean war. funsohng
Really? I had no idea.

there was once when North sent 31 spies to Seoul to kill our President in 60's.... and there was another instance when North Korean spies/terrorists blew up our passenger plane and one surviving terrorist is actually not arrested (rather she visited Japan last summer as was invited as a national visitor, which pretty much pissed off.... everyone, really). There were bigger stuff back in those days. and recently, there was 1999, and 2002 Battle of Yeonpyeung (small skirmish along Yellow Sea), 2009 Battle of Daechung, May 2010 sinking of Cheonan, and bombing of Yeonpyeung just 2 days before. We still live in days where the term "defector" is used....

But if they really did invade South, South Koreawould mostly win with all the resources and all the backing they would have

No, because South Korea doesn't need a drastic amount of help to defeat the North. The South Korean military + a little help from the US is good enough.

Not to mention South Korea would be getting far more support than just a little from the US if they were invaded by the North. At this point, it would basically be NK against the world (even China).

By the time I would be done basic training the war would be over, NK wouldn't stand a chance against SK let alone NATO.

South Korea has a military budget 5 times that of the north. I suspect that South Korea would be able to handle themselves. Of course we'd help, but they may not need as much.

No because I doubt it would be necessary. South Korea could defend themselves and we would just serve as back up here and there.

Why ?

It's not like North Korea is some kind of a super force, and has tons of allies. Why would civilians fight a war that is easily won ?

It has nothing to do with me . It would suck for all those people who end up in a war zone. But to tell the truth i have zero ties to Korea . Why should Canada lose 1000s of our boys ? Biggest thing Korean does for me is tech stuff like my lg monitor

Do you even understand nukes are more than a big Explosion right? if you where to nuke N.K teh radiationb would go to SK, Japan, Russia, and china. And you would Irradiate the ground making its unlivable *hint, Chernobyl*. Nukes are so worthless its not even funny. And then theres teh China Factor, od you even know how they would react?

Exactly. If anything, the only reason China cares is that they don't want refugees coming to their country.

Even if I sign up for the military, I doubt it would be much help to South Korea, as I don't expect the Malaysian military to do anything. :P

No. NATO is North Atlantic, an alliance formed between the U.S. and Europe. SKorea is in the Pacific, a different zone.

We have different treaties covering Asian nations.

FYI, America isn't a country.

FYI, when most people around the world refer to "America", it normally represents the United States of America.

Just like instead of saying "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" you say "Britain" or the "United Kingdom".
