It's our ship, don't let the pirates keep it as a trophy. (Should've been hit a long time ago.)

It's been on display in North Korea for quite a while now.  Why it's making news now is beyond me.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Because the Norks have recently "renovated" the ship and are using it as a focal piece in a museum glorifying their warmongering.

It's our ship, we can do whatever we want with/to it. I think a few well-aimed missiles launched from international territory would be entirely appropriate.

Yeah, it's totally worth restarting the Korean War over a 50 year old rusting POS.

Whatever Intel value that thing had is long past. Who gives a *expletive deleted*it if both tourists to Pyongyang look at it? Pretty much no matter what you hit launching a missile into another county's capitol is an act of war.

If we had to do something, a covert op would be best...SEAL team, small devices to promote rapid leaking.  But I've got to agree, why risk the assets for this?

The time to have launched an Alpha strike against it would have been precisely 5 minutes after the crew crossed the Bridge of No Return.

That would have been a great time to settle their hash.  Given how LBJ reacted to the Tonkin incident, it amazes me that we didn't stomp around on their sandcastle then and there.

You mean by getting us involved in a police action and hamstringing our military so as to prevent victory?

Dammit, I just spent the last hour here:

Reading about SW versus ST, and the Empire versus the Federation.
