I'm sure that empty hands will work very well against synchronized artillery attacks from miles away. Reminds me of the way that the Polish horse cavalry routed the invading Germans. Oh, wait. They didn't. > It is one of the best in the world. > I salute them as true men. When was the last time they actually fought anyone? Which is another reason for the "double standard". North Korea has kept within their own borders since the war. They've just been starving their own people, not formally attacking anyone else. I suspect that if the North ever does invade the South, the soldiers will head straight for the nearest McDonalds.
