So...I've known about this stuff for awhile, but I thought I'd throw this out there as a possible bunch of dominoes that could've fallen into a Second Korean War.
The whole "hostile fire zone" thing kind of makes me wonder just how serious the US military was. If that's anything like free fire zones, then they were ready to drop the hammer in that one area of the DMZ.
In any case, I just thought I'd throw this stuff out there.
