And of course, the aftermath was a complete clusterfuck.


And I'm not too worried about North Korea crossing the Rubicon. Like you said, Kim Yong Un just wants the North Koreans to think he's a 'strong leader'.

No initial Resistance because of the tactic.

Shock and Awe - "Further, rapid dominance will impose this overwhelming level of Shock and Awe against an adversary on an immediate or sufficiently timely basis to paralyze its will to carry on . . . [to] seize control of the environment and paralyze or so overload an adversary's perceptions and understanding of events that the enemy would be incapable of resistance at the tactical and strategic levels."

We didn't even unleash the full destruction of the US Joint fight. We struck their capital with air strikes; landed airborne units to the north; had SOF secure strategic points; thunder run with a division worth of armor followed by a division of air assaulting infantry securing the cities in the wake.
