Yeah, you get to travel to interesting places and meet interesting people. But the travel is probably brutal, and those interesting people all want to gain an advantage and grind you down.
I do have to say I was concerned the glib statements about military options against NK. I have no doubt that the American's would kick the crap out of NK. But there would be mass civilian casualties in the South because of that artillary belt, and I have no doubt that the NK's would use every civilian killing weapon in their arsenal on the way out.\
Also while I think that the American's would beat the Chinese in a straight up fight, I don't like the correlation of forces in Asia right now, plus it would become a real tinderbox for a showdown with the American's and probably NATO on one side and China and Russia on the other.
