No
one wants war in North Korea, but the U.S. military is ready should a
fight break out, a senior defense official revealed Tuesday.
"We will pray for peace every day," Gen. Mark A. Milley, Chief of Staff
of the U.S. Army, explained at the Association of the United States Army
conference, adding, "but at the same time, the United States Army will
prepare for war."
He stressed that North Korea is "most dangerous near-term threat to the
United States in the world today," explaining "North Korea is rapidly
developing intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear weapons that
can strike the continental United States."
"North Korea has always been aggressive in their rhetoric and their
threat of conventional action," Milley said, "but now, they are becoming
a threat that combines devastating capability with the declaratory
intent to use that capability against our allies and our homeland."
