Korea?

In case anyone saw or heard about this article which says:

Yokosuka, Japan (TRN)-- The United States has deployed the aircraft carrier George Washington and its Strike Group to take up station near North Korea in advance of a planned ballistic missile launch by that nation toward Hawaii. The missile launch is scheduled for July 4.

The aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) with its crew of approximately 5,500 Sailors is the United States’ only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier. The George Washington will be joined by Carrier Battle Force 70, Carrier Air Wing 5, Surface Combatant Force Seventh Fleet (CTF-75), Carrier Strike Force Seventh Fleet (CTF-77) and Destroyer Squadron 15 in a massive show of force.

North Korea has stated they will respond with military attacks against South Korea and Japan if any of their missiles are shot down by an outside country.

Glenn's response was: That's all a load of shit as far as we know. Awesome story though. I printed it out and hung it in the ready room. Everyone laughed.

To which my response was: Phew!
