65. We are allies with S Korea...and would be fighting to help them on the Korean peninsula

How fast they are is irrelevant, US troops on the ground would still need to knock them out.

I find the whole meme kind of silly, the weapon system you need to use to save US troops lives can't cost more then yours or the enemies yearly salary?? I doubt the troops would see it that way "Well we'd like to save your lives and knock out the tank platoon headed your way but the numbers just don't add up, sorry."
