South Korea's Plan to Make North Korea Suffer in War: Marines Attacking from an 'Aircraft Carrier'
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Yes, Seoul has a carrier--sort of. *Wherever in North Korea they land, the ROK Marines are in for a very tough fight. North Korea is heavily garrisoned and home to an army of 1.2 million, with several million more in the reserves and militia. Ideally, a landing would come while the North is fully committed to an attack on the South, leaving little fuel for KPA forces to counterattack a beach landing. The ROK Marines are truly the tip of the spear, and their commitment in wartime will signal the end of the Kim regime.* In modern Korea’s relatively sh... more »
