People who think the North Korean KPA will go through the ROK Army like a knife through butter have never spent any time with the South Koreans. I lived and worked with them for two years and heard their Vietnam war stories, so I know better. The ROKA is one of the best in the world, on par with our Marine Corps or elite Army divisions. ISIS should be glad we’re not using them in the Middle East.

If ROKs look like ROKs looked in Vietnam when I was there in 68-9 then that butter is gonna be granite. The ROKS had a rep among the VC about like the Turks had in Korea in 1951. The Commies really didn’t want to mess with them. If Kim were to try it he would not use his infantry to invade until his artillery and maybe a couple of nukes have ended opposition. He would use infiltrators and whoever he already has on the ground in SK to mix stuff up and do assassinations. I don’t think the NK artillery is going to be nearly as effective as it is advertised. It will be neutralized as soon as hostilities commence. We have the ordnance for doing that and I am sure the SKs have it, too.

I hear that South Korea is literally within miles of North Korea
