Amphibious Leaders Symposium landing demonstration.... pics by Sgt. Sarah Anderson

Note:  The idea sounds good in the classroom but how well will this "partnership" works in the rivalry filled Pacific is anyone's guess.  Just look at the tension between Japan and S. Korea.  Could we really depend on S. Korea if the disputed islands were taken by the Chinese?  I don't think so.  Regardless.  If this is handled badly then we could find ourselves being dragged into every border dispute, fishing dispute, insurgency, uprising by the people, etc....throughout the region.  I hope they know the "risks".
