And the United States military has felt it's in our interest to put land mines there along that border to deter aggression, and to save lives of our soldiers who would otherwise be killed should troops move south. But to ban the use of land mines to protect demilitarized, clearly demarcated areas and to protect American soldiers, I think, would be a mistake. We need to stand behind our soldiers, not undermine and endanger their lives further. So you'd say the use of land mines along places like the South Korean border is purely defensive, and civilians are banned from that area anyhow. I think that's right.
Land mines are a terrible thing.
But children are not wandering around the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. The danger there is that there will be a surprise thrust by the North Korean military south. And if they try that, I think they should face the threat of land mines rather than being able to not face that risk and put our own soldiers and the civilian populations that are protected by the existing land mine frontier at greater risk. That means it's time for your Porker Award, Rep. Petri. Pork at the Post Office.
