I beg to differ. One on one. Mano et Mano. The North Koreans would wipe the floor with you Americans.
They simply have too many of them. 1 million soldiers. Biggest army. I'm talkin trench warfare here not technology lol.
We would decimate the majority of their military before we had boots on the ground. I'm not going to entertain your 'in the trenches' idea as it is an archaic tactic and not used in modern theaters of conflict.
When using definitions, the '#1' definition is the one used by most people in most circumstances. For example:
dec·i·mate
ˈdesəˌmāt
verb
1.
kill, destroy, or remove a large percentage or part of.
"the project would decimate the fragile wetland wilderness"
drastically reduce the strength or effectiveness of (something).
"plant viruses that can decimate yields"
2.
historical
kill one in every ten of (a group of soldiers or others) as a punishment for the whole group.
As per the common definition, my usage of decimate is correct, whereas you chose to use the archaic, historical definition in an attempt to save face. You are also referencing 'decimate' in terms of a punitive action, which is completely different from what I have used it in reference to. I applaud your attempt but your reading comprehension skills, unfortunately, let you down.
Congratulations for knowing the old definition of a word and correcting someone who used the proper definition in the proper context? You realize you're the one who -blam!-ed up, right?
Not at all. I use decimate in the correct context all the time. That being the way it's supposed to be used not the idiotic American version. Used to try and make their decimation look better than it actually is!
