They say N Korea has a million troops but what quality of troops? I imagine most are just conscript-type soldiers, fodder.

What type of equipment do they have, how much? Besides all of the surface to surface rockets we have heard about?

Assuming the US and ROK forces aren’t crippled in the opening barrage and nobody uses nukes can North Korea actual field a real modern fighting army?

They are motivated, generally poorly equipped, massive in sheer numbers (1 MILLLION) and not particularly well-fed. They would rape and generally loot for food, alocohol or cigarettes any ROK populated areas they took over and mistreat occupied personnel.

That's my general assessment of it. They would fight vigorously and fiercely, and would descend in to mass suicide when eventually subdued, such is their cult brainwashing. They would also IED US troops going up there, in my opinion; they have made outreaches to terrorist groups in the Middle East in Iraq and Afghanistan to study anti-personnel mines and other improvised explosives a guerilla war context.

Those familiar with the fighting of highly committed but desperate Japanese in WW2, including suicide charges, sometimes with bamboo spears, and which killed thousands of GIs, cannot slight the potential of similar soldiers, who will face death if they do not win. Pray. But with a military that is supposed to sanction sodomy, and a nation that increasingly has forsaken God, then the greater enemies are within.
