North Korea has massed its troops on the border with South Korea in response to planned joint American and South Korean exercises. The North Koreans have stated that if the exercises go ahead they will consider them a direct provocation and act of aggression. Before the death of Kim Il Sung the country was becoming increasingly destitute, unstable and unpredictable.

The American President is flying to South Korea to personally thank all those who took part in the operation and to award campaign medals.
:Failure
Each piece of equipment destroyed and allied casualty has reduced the American President's popularity. As this is an election year, the Americans and South Koreans have agreed to a cease-fire and further UN sponsored talks on the North Koreans territorial claims. Your carelessness and accident rate are clearly a major cause of this humiliation.
