Of course they would say that. They have
NOTHING to lose.
They are either conscript rejects in China or living in Canada. Not one have any military experience so they do not know what/how soldiers talk among themselves about the prospects of going to war or losing one's life. Not one know any real danger other than crossing the streets in the next day, quite different from knowing that one may be sucked into a jet engine intake, die from an accidental weapons discharge, run over by a tank in an exercise, and so on. And this is in peace time. Is there any wonder why they would be so cavalier about other's lives?
Nowhere did I say so. I said 'Possibly'.
We do not need South Korea and Japan.
Over Yugoslavia, B-2 missions were flown from CONUS and back. We know the most likely the bases from which the PLAAF could deploy. We no longer need 'mass' to create the effects of mass, the kind that everyone expect since these effects are what they know from WW II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Try to imagine how the Serbs felt when after the B-2 passed and so few explosions heard, they found out they could not launch a single aircraft for hours or even days. Now try to imagine how PLAAF personnel would feel.
Not getting into that. That is like saying the greatest to South Korea is the South Korean military itself. As someone who has experience with the ROKAF and the ROK Marines, I know better about the South Koreans and how they feel about their side of the Korean peninsula.
