The ROKs don’t screw around. Period. To believe otherwise would be a mistake.

Vets in Vietnam who served around the ROK soldiers did not want to get into a scrap with them.

Well, I noticed that a bit when I lived in Korea 10 years ago. The older generation saw NK as a grave threat while the younger generation simply see NK as a weakened, famine ravished country.

The younger generation doesn’t understand that the famine of 1996-1997 was largely artificial (i.e. NK gov’t provoked) and that even though the regular people were starving, the army was fell fed and well trained and just as much a threat in 1997 as they were in 1957.

They see strength as a threat so that’s why they believe the US is more of a threat to peace than NK. In a way, it’s a compliment.

OTOH, I wouldn’t take too much stock in what the MSM have to say about SK either, afterall, they just elected a conservative as President, and plenty of younger folks voted for him.
