FACT: South Korean Soldiers Hold Hands When They Open These Doors, and For Good Reason
*Ryan Pickrell* *Security, * Ever been to the DMZ? We give you an inside look. *In recent weeks, the U.S. and South Korea have been drilling for a possible military contingency on the Korean Peninsula, and North Korea has been testing weapons, as well as firing them off in rehearsals for strikes on enemy bases. Tensions are especially high as there is a possibility the North will test a nuclear weapon in the near future.* The demilitarized zone (DMZ) is a peculiar place at the heart of one of the world’s most dangerous flashpoints — the Korean Peninsula.

It’s not quite that simple, however.* In 2005, USS *Ronald Reagan*, a newly constructed $6.2 billion dollar aircraft carrier, sank after being hit by multiple torpedoes.

However, US leaders surveying numerous flashpoints across the Asia-Pacific would do well to reflect on this solemn anniversary regarding the terrible sacrifices made at Midway so many years ago.
