SEOUL (Reuters) -North Korea's foreign ministry on Sunday called on the United Nations to demand an immediate halt to combined military drills by the United States and South Korea, saying they were raising tensions that threaten to spiral out of control.

The drills and rhetoric from the allies are "irresponsibly raising the level of confrontation," Kim Son Gyong, vice foreign minister for international organisations, said in a statement carried by state news agency KCNA.

The United States and South Korea will conduct more than 10 days of large-scale military exercises in March, including amphibious landings, officials from the two countries said on Friday.

The U.S. and South Korea say the exercises are in self-defence and are necessary to counter the rising threats from North Korea's ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programmes, which are banned by U.N. Security Council resolutions.

Yeah, I'm sure the UN will get right on that.

1. Uh, it's an active war under a cease-fire

They can capitulate anytime they want, but as of now it's just a nearly 70 year old truce. Our troops are still paid for war when they serve in Korea.

2. Yep, the times I was stationed in S. Korea,

I received hazardous duty pay and my family could not accompany me, they had to stay in the states.
