RSOI Still On Despite Nork Complaints

It seems like this story pops up every year. Who really cares any more?:

The United States and South Korea plan to conduct annual joint military exercises this month, the U.S. military command said Friday.

The exercises, dubbed RSOI and Foal Eagle, will involve 20,000 American troops and an undisclosed number of South Korean soldiers and will run for a week starting March 25, said Kim Yong-kyu, a spokesman for the U.S. military command in Seoul.

U.S. officials have said the exercises, involving land, sea and air forces, are designed to improve U.S. and South Korean forces’ defense capabilities.

North Korea routinely condemns joint military exercises between the United States and South Korea, calling them preparations to invade the communist state.
