They call this stability?

The shooting phase of the Korean War ended in 1953.  So in 23 years, 49 Americans died?  That's a negligible 2 deaths a year.

Where's the Lancet when you need them?

Leave your friends out of this Uncle Mikey.

Do yourself a favor and do a little research. You'll find it to be true in Germany, and throughout Europe during the first phases of the occupation. Just like pockets of Japanese soldiers resisted for months after peace was declared.

I know it's tough for you, but it's simply the truth.

By "no American troops are getting killed in Germany or Korea", observe that I used the present progressive test, to indicate that I meant "at the present time", or something like "during the past year".

I did not intend to send Plane and Richiepoo off on a cootie search, looking for nits to pick, though it is somewhat amusing to watch, not unlike when you throw Fang a new chew toy.

No need to get all apologetic BO. We all know you're prone to delusional tangents. It was just another case of once again proving you to be nothing but a lying little turd who clearly has no idea what he' rambling on about.

Now go back and finish grading your papers.

You should provide a list of all the American troops that were killed in Korea and Germany by the enemy in the past year.

[Rich]

Should I?

I'm really not inclined to do something just because someone like you says so. I've read about it in the past, and even discussed in on this board in it's previous incarnations. No, I think you should ask a history teacher friend of yours.

Good luck.

I am sorry I didn't understand you so well , I thought you met that Germany and Korea were safe when the war ended .  In as much as the presence of US troops can help cause peace this is kinda true , but it is not without risk.

For a long time Germany was the the home of the "Short Range Nuclear " weapon , imagine safety relying on a thing like that , or imagine being one of the guys entrusted with a "backpack" nuclear weapon. Mutual ensured destruction was maintained at short range.

Korea is presently the finest collection of Artillery to be constantly manned in the world , it is not so much that North Korea stays on a constant wartime footing , but that they have such a consistently bad attitude , there is hardly in the world a better collection of high powered weapons and bad attitudes brought together than in Korea.
