1. [+6024, -190] The US should now revoke putting limits on South Korea's missile development

2. [+4798, -193] What's even more difficult is we have no way to stop conventional and biochemical missiles..

3. [+5974, -1427] When Roh Moo Hyun said we should develop nuclear powered submarines, the long standing forces were against developing our own self defence!!

4. [+3234, -710] Honestly for a lowly country to successfully make an ICBM, imagine how proud and boastful they must feel.. it's just like a success for them.. but are we just going to do nothing and watch..

5. [+467, -56] For the good of the country, we have to know how to say 'no' when it comes to it whether it be US, China, or the North

6. [+366, -26] Shouldn't our country be making something too?  I want to make my kids forget the word 'war'
