"The situation at that time was that the DMZ was now overgrown with trees and the MDL mark was not clearly visible," Lee said.

"There was no road, and the (North Korean soldiers) were moving through the bushes, and we were observing (them) even before they got close to the MDL," Lee said.

"We believe that they did not intend to invade, considering that they immediately moved northward after the warning broadcasts and warning shots."

They should have been shot. North Korean soldiers have previously used such incursions to plant land mines on patrol routes.

Sure is brave of you to call for escalations of war an ocean away.

Cypher ,

Sure is compassionate of you to be concerned for the lives of men fighting to oppress their own people under a brutal dictatorship.

Yes, it is compassionate to oppose a war. Even if you personally don't feel one side is human, you must understand that both sides are going to suffer massive casualties right?

And even if you don't consider either side human, you know we spend billions on keeping South Korea militarized right? We're still paying for that war in rotting infrastructure and schools even if it's not our blood being spilled.

Then again, if I had a nickle for every time I heard someone extol how much they care for the Ukrainian people also say that the war is a wonderful way to kill Russians without spilling a drop of American blood, I'd be able to afford a house. I suspect that you don't care about either side's people or your own beyond how their lives can be spent to defend western hegemony.

It is not compassionate to support a brutal dictatorship.

Even if you personally don’t feel one side is human

Nice strawman you started building, it's a shame you stopped half way.

And even if you don’t consider either side human

Another half attempt at finishing your strawman?

you know we spend billions

You're making a lot of assumptions here.

keeping South Korea militarized right?

If only they didn't have a brutal dictatorship next door.

We’re still paying

Wrong.

I suspect that you don’t care about either side’s people

It only took you three paragraphs to complete your strawman! Congrats you did it.

defend western hegemony.

Cry about it tankie scum.

Opposing war doesn't equate to supporting a dictator.

You literally have no argument.
