60. Read exactly what I said.
Edited on Wed May-26-10 09:07 AM by GreenStormCloud
At first the Air Force dominated the NK, then the NK introduced the MiG-15, we countered with the F-86 Sabre and again we kicked Communist ass.
I am referring to the air war, not the overall war. Once the F-86 was introduced by the US they dominated the Communist Air Forces. F-86 pilots were credited with shooting down 792 MiGs for a loss of only 78 Sabres, a victory ratio of 10:1

I gave you lots of reason why the current ROK/US military is far superior to the current NK forces.

I make no personal threats to anyone. You are just being silly.

Yes, I do reject Gen. Schwartz's comments. He was obviously spreading bullshit, maybe to try to get a budget increased. I have seen, and fallen for, that kind of line before during the cold war. Then I read Inside the Soviet Army by Viktor Suvorov, and began to read Col. Trevor N. Dupuy's books and learned about the Quantified Judgment Method of Analysis for militaries. Those books, and some others, wised me up about the game many generals play to get bigger budgets.

I have stated, and I repeat, that I hope that this fuss blows over. The South will not attack the North. War will come only if Kim decides to go South.

I NK attacks they will have initial success, but will have their ass handed to them in a few days to a couple of weeks.

In modern times a military can't win unless they can at least deny control of the air to their enemy. (Vietnam was almost forty years ago and no longer counts as modern.)From the very start NK will have to fight under a sky ruled by the ROK/US. That, and the other factors that I listed, and that you never responded to, will be sufficient to give a decisive victory to the ROK/US.

If you want to believe in a decisive NK victory if Kim attacks, then I shall leave you in your ignorance.

You may wish to notice that I am not the only one in this thread who disagrees with you.

BTW - proteus_lives has asked a good question of you. I shall ask a similar one. How do you expect a bunch of obsolete aircraft such as MiG 17,19,21s to defeat F/A-18s and F-22s.
