(On the other hand, is the UN even running the show anymore after November 97?)

When did the UN ever run the show. Since 1951 when US Forces landed the US has called many of the military calls. The way the unified military command is set up, it would be pretty much the same. The only thing is in Korea their is UN Mandate that and they have been more than happy leaving the US in charge of it.
Much like in NATO the US takes the lead roles in many of the major commands with a few exception like the NorthAG and other allowed by other allies to command. One of the Sticky things now is with NATO is that many of the members are part of the European Union which include some other nations that are suppose to be Neutral. Yet, under European Union they have more less take the what was the BOAR and turned it into rapid reaction force of the EU. *shrug*
Or the fact that NATO sat by and allow the Russia Army ransack Georgia a couple years ago...
