I seriously want to study abroad in Seoul the spring semester of 2018. I'm scared that I'm willfully walking into a future war zone. I've heard both that this sort of saber-rattling is going on 50 years and I've heard that things are as untenable and unstable as they'll ever get with the current administration. I guess your and Mr. Hecker's point is that alarmism is clouding all sober discussion of the potential of armed conflict. Will continue deliberating.
