Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday that dependents of U.S. military personnel in South Korea should be relocated in the wake of a recent North Korean missile test.
"South Korea should be an unaccompanied tour. It's crazy to send spouses and children to South Korea, given the provocation of North Korea. So I want them to stop sending dependents. And I think it's now time to start moving American dependents out of South Korea," Graham said on "Face the Nation."
North Korea carried out its latest missile test last week. It was the reclusive countrys third intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test, but the first for what North Korea is calling its Hwasong-15 missile. The missile flew nearly 2,800 miles high and for a distance of more than 600 miles, according to experts, who added that it can travel a distance of more than 8,000 miles far enough to strike anywhere in United States.

"We're getting close to a military conflict because North Korea's marching toward marrying up the technology of an I.C.B.M. with a nuclear weapon on top that cannot only get to America but deliver the weapon. We're running out of time," Graham said Sunday.

North Korea's artillery will pulverize Seoul in a matter of hours. They have some REALLY BAD stuff besides explosives loaded in those shells too.

Remove the military and their families.
Seems like a fair trade to me.
Graham and McCain can lead the charge. McConnell and Ryan can carry the colors.
It's not as if any of them will be missed.
