If it already hasn't.

My husband was there twice with part of his Air National Guard unit in 1988 and 1998. Tensions with the North has never ceased. Sure enough, Kim Jung Un will see this as an opportunity to attack the South with what conventional weaponry he has. The air base that protects much of Seoul and the surrounding areas depends on the US there.

Makes one wonder who is talking to Petey H and TACO?
