Every cloud has a silver lining! 
The angriest people will be mothers of students, who will be demanding to know why the foreigner teacher isn't in the hagwon. After all, they have paid an obscene amount of money for their kids education, and a simple attack by the North is no reason to disrupt that. |

|
|
| Why do the US corporate big wheel AMCHAM members here in Korea (think huge salaries and other perks) get preferential evacuation treatment (at US taxpayer expense) in the event of a North Korean attack? With their salaries they should be able to finance their own private evacuations. I have written my US congressman and senators about this, but no reply so far............ |

They are more important than the average Joe. |

The evacuation plan for Americans goes as follows;
- Embassy staff and dependents
- Military non-essential staff and military dependents
- Injured, wounded or hospitalized US soldiers
- Businessmen and company personnel
- Ordinary civilians (registered with the US embassy)
- Dependents of ordinary civilians
It all depends on space as people will be airlifted either to Japan or to an aircraft carrier away from Korea.
The plan was to allow civilians into the gates of US military facilities as long as they have their passports in hand, those that don't will be turned away. From there, they will be processed and then they would have to wait to be evacuated from the facilities.
As for being attacked without warning- that won't happen.
The US and Korea has early warning systems in place that could detect movement or rocket launch in or around Seoul (don't you notice the small towers on the hilltops surrounding the city?)
The general idea is to have people evacuate or seek shelter a few hours before an impending attack. |
LOL!!! Sorry, but the LAST place I'D want to be if there were a war between N and S is a US military base!!!! I'll take my chances in my backwater town...thank you very much! |

Class and privilege. They don't care about the peasants. |

Heck, you don't even need to fix bayonets and charge.
Simply stockpile the soju and some cigs and get yourself deemed an "essential war materiel supplier" or some such bureacratic speak and get protection.
Course you wouldn't want to be too high up that you become a target.....
Maybe a better one would go the Paul Russassabenga route and be the exclusive supplier of some generalissimo's favorite scotch.

interesting and funny thread...
i agree with those who say that no such attack will ever occur (or that one is very very unlikely), given the prospects for the north. it just not going to happen. they might seem (or be) crazy, but they're not dumb.
regardless, i think the idea that an enormous standing army means anything this day in age is rather silly. actually, i suppose it can be quite useful, perhaps even vital, for things like counter-insurgerncies O_o . but, for the purposes of this thread, which is about a scenario such as north korea vs the US, a huge standing army is basically worthless.
its like a thousand ants fighting me. i will just step on all of them. a few might bite me. but, whatever. |

As an American, I would respond the way we respond to chaos.
Day One: Go around various apartment buildings peeping in doors as families leave in order to see who has the best stuff.
Day Two: Break into dozens of different apart-uhs and refurbish my own apartment with only the largest Samsung and LG electronics. Also score a painting or two and score as many gold chains as possible.
Day Three: Hit Apgujeong hard. Head back with an E*Mart bag full of gold jewelry, gold bullion, and beer.
Day Four: Same as Day Three.
Day Five: Same as Day Four.
Day Six: See what loot is left in Gangnam.
Day Seven: Take grenades off bodies of dead soldiers and set them off at ATM machines, stuffing my overalls full of any bills that make it out undamaged or lightly damaged. Go back to that one apartment with the case of Hite, take a couple of bottles and go back to my pad and bask in the ambience of my paintings and my electronics that I cannot use.
Day Eight: Empty out an ammo box I found and use a dead soldier's spade to bury half of my treasure in the Olympic Park. Use a red crayon, a black crayon and paper looted from Wonderland to make my treasure map. On the way back home, loot a neon sign from a bar and take it to my apartment.
Day Nine: War is over. Thank goodness it's Saturday and I don't have to be at the hagwon until Monday. It has been a busy eight days. |
