Last week, North Korea fired four banned ballistic missiles that landed in the East Sea inside Japan’s exclusive economic zone, which extends 200 nautical miles from its coastline. North Korea said they fired the missiles because A.) they were practicing to hit U.S. military bases in Japan and B.) because the United States and South Korea are currently engaged in their annual joint military drills. Of course this is bullshit because North Korea is firing banned missiles, joint military drills or not. Well, America just fired their own shots by adding three extremely lethal aspects of the U.S. military to this year’s annual Foal Eagle military drills.

The Foal Eagle exercise includes 3,600 U.S. troops, in addition to the 28,000 US troops permanently stationed in South Korea. The reason for the joint drills is to prepare air, land, and sea military operations in case a conflict with North Korea and South Korea erupts. Making their first appearance to the joint military exercises is the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group, better known as U.S. Navy SEAL Team 6. They are the same Navy SEAL team that took out Osama bin Laden. The SEALs, who are currently on the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier, should arrive in South Korea on Wednesday.

Joining the SEALs are the Army Special Forces, plus the 5th generation supersonic stealth fighter, the F-35, South Korea’s Joon Gang Daily reports. The F-35 will simulate attacks on North Korea’s missile infrastructure, the South Korean paper reports.
