Hell, the North Koreans have even managed to tunnel under the parallel to a degree where they could have convoyed down an entire armored division if they had wanted to - they got caught, but still, the point remains that where there's a will, there will be a way.

Except in the case you cited where there was a will but turned out not to be a way. Just sayin' that example doesn't exactly support your point. In fact, it might do more support Hans.
