I'm in favor of that. The children of every Democrat and Republican who votes for war should be pressed into service and undergo the necessary training immediately. I wonder if the disaster that was "Operation Iraqi Freedom" would have happened if this simple rule was applied.

That would end once they realized the truth of what the rest of the world thinks and how they live. They are "loyal" because they're terrified not to be, and they've been told that the rest of the world wants to attack them, and that they live better than the rest of the world. Once they are shown the truth, that loyalty will go out the window. They also share a very long history with South Korea, and reuniting with them would go a long way toward them turning on their evil dictator.

What unnecessary war? If our allies are attacked, we would defend them. If North Korea nuked us, we would destroy North Korea with nukes.

This all seems pretty standard. Why are people freaking out over this? I'd be more worried if we said we wouldn't defend our allies. Then everyone would know the US was a pushover

Who's freaking out?

Mattis just said what everyone, including the North Korean government, already knew, both because it's obvious and because it's been said repeatedly.

Why is that grounds for the cheering and Dear Leader worship we're seeing from the Trump loyalists?
