Now is a REALLY bad time for something like this. If North Korea is intentionally trying to provoke an incident to determine US reaction are they doing it in concert with someone else, say Iran? This could be an attempt to see how thin we will spread our forces.

Very good point.
I liken the DPRK to a small child. First he says a curse word and his parents let him get away with it. Next he starts throwing things, having little temper tantrums. Next he hits the neighbor's child and gets away with it. All provocative actions to try to get a response and see how far he can go without being punished. How long 'til junior (and friends?) burn down the house? Just because you're a small child doesn't mean you can't be a dangerous one.
Stay safe 35NCO and all over there. A buddy of mine starts his military career there in a few weeks.
