I'm sorry, I am a former United States Marine and I get a full woody when our military goes out to play, but going to war is not something we do because someone threatened us. We should ONLY go to war when the United States is directly threatened or attacked.

We don't send thousands of Americans to die because the leader of NK is beating his fists on his chest.

This is why we are where we are at with North Korea. We have two options...
1) Go to war
2) Do nothing

The end result is pretty much the same - the United States is still standing - but with option number one tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Americans will die.
