Hope Zewad stays safe and is ready to kick some ass if not. This will be his kind of fight if shit hits the fan.

Must be disturbingly exciting to put into practice a lot of the things he's trained for, but didn't have a chance to come up against in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Good luck man!

You know I was just thinking, if North and South Korea start war with each other, would this be considered WW3? I mean think about it. We're already in war with Afghanistan and Iraq, and if North Korea attacks, we'll be at war with them too. How many countries would have to get involved for it to be considered a World War? 5 seems like it would do the job (Afghanistan, Iraq, USA, South Korea and North Korea)

A lot of people call the War on Terror WWIII. I really don't like that name though.

On the other hand I think that to really call something a world war you have to have unified sides or at least allied sides.

Afghanistan, Iraq, and North Korea are not really allies, at least not in name like there was during WWI and WWII.

This is more like "the US & friends against a few nuisances", it doesn't really count. In WWI and WWII you had a bunch of big players teaming up and fighting one another. Like teen girls divided between team glitter and team gayer.

war on terror is more like the cold war hey, not really all-out, mostly ideological etc..

I can see this escalating is China continues to back the North... could turn into WW3 relatively easily imo...

hopefully China has changed enough thru their capitalist ways to leave their freaky cousin commies in the woods while the US and south fuck em up... otherwise shit is going to get serious

What is going to suck is when those North Koreans come streaming across the Chinese border they are going to be met with gun fire.

Wikileaks put out a cable last week from somewhere, that said "China will accept a combined Korea, under the control of Seoul".

(Not a direct quote, I can't be fucked looking for it just now).
