I don't like the ramping up of rhetoric by the South Korea Government and the new defense minister.

South Korea's government may have felt that their support has eroded due to their soft handing of the sinking of their warship last year, and they might want a stronger response to the shelling.

In other news a briefing document was created in Ottawa and handed off to Peter McKay. This document briefed him on the concept of a UN commanded fighting force and Canda's place in it if the balloon goes up.

In theory if there is war I can't see Canada sending in ground troops, we don't have the manpower right now to be involved in two conflicts on the ground, and we still don't have the heavy lift capability.

I would assume if the balloon goes up, Canada will supply a Naval force and perhaps a squadron of F-18 fighter bombers.
