It's South Korea's cage that's being rattled this time around. All that artillery aimed as Seoul isn't as frightening as 1 or 2 nuclear-tipped short-range missiles.

Right you are.  Heck, even a couple of artillery shells with nuke warheads is likely within their ability.
 
Have we done anything to draw back troops or lower troop levels around the DMZ?  I should have kept better track of what was going on there, but I don't want our boys in harms way with that maniacal helmet on the loose in NK.

Point taken, though a nuclear artillery shell requires quite a bit more miniaturization than a missile topped with one (8" warhead for early nuclear artillery or 5" for later artillery, with the produced versions of the 5" nuke shells having sub-kiloton warheads, vs. 18" warhead for the FROG-7).
