To my thoughts, the only reason N. Korea is doing what there doing is because they got a large nation "China" who is backing them. Do they actually believe that if they attack us, China will save them, because I dought that China would help them in a War, but even if they did, China will still not save them from the true world powers of America and our allies. do you find that pathetic that N.Korea hides behind China in order to get backings for test launching missiles?

If i wanna be a Jet Mechanic, is joining the Navy a good choice?
I'll love to work with aircraft and i'll like to join the Navy, will i have good training and will i have a good career. Here in L.A, the median wage for a Jet Mechanic is $81,000 a year.

People say Air Force would be better but for jobs in major airlines. But i'll like to be a Jet mechanic and i think Navy would be better. Any Advice?

Look at the issue with Palestina. They had free democratic elections and they elected the most radical party (HAMAS).
Maybe democracy wont have success in an islamic country.
Not because they are bad, only because they have another culture.
Or maybe yes. Please let me have your opinions.
