 |

I don't think anything'll happen with the North anytime soon. but if those air raids you heard this morning were legit, the country was under attack, and you've made the (wise) decision to go home, what would you do?
maybe you've got a stack of cash you can eat from for a few months.
maybe you're already looking to other jobs in asia.
maybe you'd hack it and stay.
me, i'd buy a lot of korean nick-nacks, fly home, and sell those nick-nacks as "war-time" goods. a solid profit for sure. a bag of pre-war korean ginseng would fetch a hefty price.
really, though, what the hell would you do back home? |

| I would do what many Americans do in our, or our allies times of trouble. I would enlist. Was there ever really another answer? The Kiwis and the Kangaroos understand reciprocity. The Brits learn ever so slowly, but they do learn. The French, (sigh ). Hast ever thine name been woman? We owe the French the debt of our independence, but will it ever be paid? The US and the ROK are "blood allies", but as far as I am concerned that debt was mostly paid in Vietnam. This board is mostly filled with anti-nationalists from countries without a purpose. I, also, am not so nationalistic as to be totally insensitive, yet the ideals and freedoms we cherish were not given freely nor entirely unearned. I read this somewhere "Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty!" So be it. |

You'd enlist to save a bunch of people who would probably rush out into the street to celebrate if the Norks nuked a Yank base in Japan? |

| I'd by all the ramen soup and bottled water for sale at E-mart, then huddle up in my apartment until the war ended. Also, take all the money out of my bank account and convert it to something more stable than the Korean won. Dried cuttlefish, maybe.. |

The Kiwis don't have an army, so much for that. The Brits have been fighting alongside The US in WWII (never mind it took you lot 3 years to jump in to face Hitler), Korea, errrmm where were you during the Falklands war?, both Gulf Wars, Bosnia/Serbia and Afghanistan. What's so slow about that? Reciprocity, get your basic facts straight before you slag off your allies, retard. |

My guess he's from Texas, Jaganath. Nuff said! Texan degrees are equivalent to the tests Korean kids do in middle school (the ENGLISH tests)... 
OP,
I'd:
1. S**t my pants,
2. weep that (2a) the game's up and (2b) that I've been so unlucky to get a good thing going in a good country and, for the first time in 50 years, it's descended into war, total war.
3. Get down to Busan as quick as poss and try and get out (on the assumption possibilities in the northwest of the country will be shut amid safety concerns in a war or simply destroyed).
However, I really don't think it'll occur.  |

| I'd enlist in the Canadian Force and then try to be deployed in Korea if that's possible. If I don't do anything, I'll have to kill myself later on. Once a war broke out which I highly doubt for now, it has be to put to a complete end once and for all. Feckin' sick of the whole situation... |

holy shmoly, i'm surprised how many people would enlist.
are you guys serious? there's a good chance you could bloody die. of course there's always a good chance you could die in any given situation on any given day. but enlisting ups the ante for death quite a few notches.
who else would enlist? i'm curious. |

First of all I wouldn't be joining the US army so they wouldn't be sending me to some pointless war like Iraq. Secondly, there are a ton of people I care about on this peninsula and I would enlist for them. Of damn course it's possible I'd die. |

Three cheers for the Korean Foreign Legion!! Home to drifters, ne'er-do-wells, and outcasts of all nationalities. |

You can still join the Korean Foreign Legion. Just wear berets or something. |

| The American imperialist dogs will all die when they try to fight the glorious DPRK armies on the battlefield. You will all be put into concentration camps and left to starve for your sins against Korea. |
