Actually, the war is still technically going on.  That was the first thing
they would tell us when we got off the plane in Korea.  It is only a
cease-fire and could restart at any time.  I always figured that we would
know that it had started up by two things.  One:  the Korean Nationals
would all not show up for work one morning, and two:  holes would suddenly
open up on the flight line.

One of the joys of having been a sacrificial goat is the knowledge that I
got out of there without being sacrificed.  The American presence in Korea
is purely so that if the North Koreans attack, enough American citizens
will be killed that the American people will be willing to go to war over it.

Cynical?  Oh no, not me.
