If war with North Korea, which country will want to join force with US to fight the war?
Answer very clear. maybe only US alone will have to fight like in Vietnam.

That is so not true.

Or maybe you didnt read enough.

Many taiwanese, South Koreans, Aussies, filippinos actually fought along with US forces in Vietnam.

So your "maybe" IS QUITE UNFOUND.

Is that so? And if so, how could a coalition of forces involving so many countries lost to half a counrty, i.e. North Vietnam. Truth is, all beside US Army was token presence in acquiescence to US diplomatic request (or demand for a more accurate word), practically non-combat and numerically negligible. Well, Australia did played a bigger role though, admittedly, as then it was perenially worried about another tide of peril from the north after Japanese reached Indonesia in World World 2. A bigger role but nevertheless, not enough to affect the outcome.

To win a war, any war, you need political will, mental determination and strong civil support on top of military might.

The token representation was not as token as you claim. Some had send thousands ( japs, koreans, aussies and japanese) while even the smallest "token is around 500( Filipinos).These are just a few of the countries named.

Whatever, still lost. Couldn't save South Vietnam as it was. A worse result that the Korean War. At least South Korea was saved.

After looking at PostNew's Photos...

it does tell a story doesn't it.

My observations;

1. South Korea's soldiers are assimilated into USA culture.

2. South Korea's veterans already have hatred towards the DPRK regime.

3. South Korea's people have already entrench a fear that DPRK would attack anytime, and have gain popular support for USA's presence in South Korea.

4. DPRK's WAR readiness is only ceremonial.

5. DPRK's WARSHIP is NOTHING compared to South Korea's Modern Corvettes, Destroyers, NAVAL FLEET.

Here are my thoughts;

1. Economically speaking, South Korea's GDP is obviously much greater than DPRK's.

2. South Korea's Inflation of Currency is in check, and DPRK's haywire.

3. To fight a war, it have to be swift and deadly, else a protracted war would severely damage the economy. (According to Sun Tze, to send ONE soldier afar for war, you need 8 farmers on the field)

4. Since the economy of DPRK is so weak, there is no way it's technological advancement could be as any better than South Korea's, even so if they talk about Nukes ICBMs, all these arms could be simply imported from China.

5. China regards DPRK as a convenient buffer against USA. // just like Mongolia against Russia. // Why would China want to jeopadize this buffer?

6. The medias are positioning USA as HEROs again via Clinton's visitation.

7. USA have huge DEBTS to solve, else, their economies go down the drain.

8. USA need CHINA to increase RMB value against Dollar, to net off the surpluses of China, therefore to reduce it's debt obligations.

9. When there is a WAR between DPRK & South Korea, USA would be able to sell it's WAR MACHINES, products and services aka STARK INDUSTRIES, to both sides, to DPRK via black market/OEM, and to South Korea legally. // WAR is a profitable venture, it comes with panic purchases from the economy for stockpiling...

10. I doubt CHINA is willing to assist KIM JONG IL, as the other day, he visited Beijing via his retro-Luxurious Train, even though he was sick... but was not treated with a states welcome wagon.

Conclusions;

1. DPRK couldn't be so stupid to wack South Korea, it's economy is currently unsustainable to fight a protracted war against South Korea.

2. DPRK's technology couldn't be so advanced, whereby when there is a SONAR lock against the WARSHIP of Korea, the South Korean Warship didn't know... Surprisingly is that ALL the crew died... either the weaponry was so devastating that the blast killed everyone instantly, or the weaponry is a sneak attack. (South Korea's Warship is obviously more advanced than DPRK's, and have WARNING SYSTEMS upon being locked on.)

3. The Korean Warship is NOT SUNK by DPRK, as they have nothing to gain, and everything to lose.

4. The Korean Warship may most likely be sneaked attacked by USA's covert operations.

Why not? You might as well ask why an army from a big and powerful country like the US would lose to a small country like Vietnam with a smaller and primitive army.
