Vik,

Is that your school work or your child's school work?

Either way, I can understand why it would be exhausting...and important.

Stuck doing the kids' homework again? Nightmare, homework is for parents though...

well... work... what is it good for...absolutly...ah...shucks....*pfff....*

its good for hobby funds...

well... it is work...and i am not getting paid for it... I HAVE to pay for it even... i am a student again...

I have my children trained so if we say War! They immediately say What is it good for? (they are also good at singing Hammertime! If you say Stop - although that gets you funny looks when crossing the street).

LOL... my kids started to headbang with me having them hold in my arms to AC/DC´s thungerstruck and highway to hell^^...

kids need to be educated from an early age!!! there is such stooopid stuff around they might get trapped in...

Glad to see parenting skills are on the up well teaching the younglings the essentials is a must

Looking good vik!!!!

I'm still having issues with a blue Brad. In fact, my vehicle in Korea was Blue-2. That brings back some fond memories. Almost throwing Lt Konatser out of his hatch when he told me to gun it and go over a berm, after I warned him it wasn't smart...

Ah... lieutenants. LIfe in the military wouldn't be the same without them.

Val, does this N. Korea stuff worry you at all?

for that matter... it worries me... i really hope someone puts an end to that kim something and one hopefully soon future day they get some sense (insert practical sounding verb here) in them...


thanks hazzer!


at valhallan... yup... i can fully understand you... captains and everything even higher up... you can get along fine... but lieutenants are a dumb breed.... a good sergant is way more worth than any pack of lieutenants...

Ah, yes, Lt's certainly were good for some laughs, good for them that they had capable Sgt's to watch out they didn't get pranked too harshly

Oh and speaking of NK, how that marshmallow scored this, I'll never know, check her out,

If you couldn't tell, I have a thing for women of Asia

She was probably raised specifically for him.

at dave... yep... that... and i think free will of her own was not something that was looked into...

and shaso... lol...marshmallow... very well put mister...

and yeah... she looks way better than our head of office i can even see a neck^^

She was told that she loves him and wants to obey him and she believed it or was she made to believe it

Not really. In a straight up fight, South Korea could handle them easily. If you start taking chemical weapons and nukes into the equation... who knows? Chemicals are unreliable, but could do lots of damage to a few units. Nukes would be worse, but I honestly don't think they have the ability yet. What worries me more are the massive amounts of artillery pointed at the south. That could hurt a lot of people before we silence them with air strikes. Also, they have giant tunnels they've dug to move their armies through to the south. A lot of them have been found and collapsed, but there could be some we don't know about.

In the end, we'd defeat them. It's just a crapshoot as to exactly how costly they could make it before it's over. They couldn't sustain a long fight, with their infrastructure the way it is. They could maybe have commando units hold out in the mountains for months inflicting casualties.

^ Times like this I heart dakka.

Also keep in mind technology. A lot of what NK has is probably not much more advanced than what it had in the 50's, with maybe a sprinkling of 60's 70's and 80's tech. The SK military though, has pretty much kept up. Their K1 tank is based on the M1 Abrams. It just uses a diesel engine instead of the JP8 jet fuel engine of the Abrams. And that may be an advantage because it's easier to get diesel.

And also... China. That just throws a spanner into the works. The last time I was in Korea was in 1995, but I really don't think NK has advanced much since then.

Their best tank is a rip off of a older model T-90. their other stuff, their missiles looked so 1970's when I watched some of the latest parade of their military stuff with Kim Jong Un asking his generals questions over each unit.

I agree, they likely could not sustain a war for very long w/o help.

Of course they are told they can crush America with ease with their weapons and training

Yeah, I was going to say China too. They're the only friend the NKs have and I think China will yank their leash before things get too crazy. They've already expressed some frustration and it's not like they'll look the other way as thousands of NK civilians start streaming across the border. War is the last thing China wants.

I do say, that women is not all that fantastic. Don't worry, Kim is really an ant compared to the rest of the world. Fairly sure we, at least america, is itching for Kim to do something so we can smash his face morally correctly. Also 100% sure south Korea is the ones that are going to eat it.

Shas, I think your Parade of Strength needs some marchers like this

That just smacks of a James Bond villian having his lady-troops march by, then turning to a flunkie and saying "pick 5 of them and send them to my room."

Well they had to be inspired by something.

Now, this post really went off track now
All we need is a Kommisar goose stepping in front...

Or perhaps we don't.

@Dave: Gave me goosebumps and a need for cold shower, Women with guns in uniform, whew! Best is the middle, nice to see smiles as well.

@Valhalla130: Get out of my head!

@Not_U: LOL to all!

@Klaus, I have lady Kommissars from Raging Heroes, posing, but no goose steps

LOL... not_u...you saved that day with that one!!! brilliant!

also more in theme to the whole thing as you know... for a pompous dictator you found a matching pompous singer...lol...long live the eighties^^


nothing thread/ hobby related to post... i am working on the fortress... and i will present to you my deeds tomorrow with the hope of a bit of sunray to let it all shine a bit more


cheers, vik


also....i may add to the NK discussion... it is not the relative suspected low tech level the NK wield... it is their low moral and unscrupulous warfare behavior....that is the real danger...! look no further than our arabic friends that have invented the bombing of everything as a hobby....

The most terrifying thing about North Korea is that they're still two years away from discovering Pong.
