The ROKs are a capable force - especially with our warriors assisting.
The South uses the mountainous landscape to its advantage - lots of passes have huge piles of rocks that can be released to block passage and limit/funnel the NORK's advances.
If SHTF, we could leave a lot of broken corpses in place of the million man army.
It would be ugly for a while, but when the dust settled, there would be a much brighter future for Korea....and Japan, and __________ (fill in the blank).
You’re forgetting the proverbial gun to the head that the north has on the south. The amount of artillery pointed at seoul is crazy.
The real issue is the North Korean artillery. That’s the hard egg that has so far been impossible to crack. The million-man NK army is honestly really neither here nor there ...it is a credible military, and they have an interesting approach to special forces, but the US military would absolutely chew them up. The use of massed armies against the US would not be prudent. The problem though is the over 10,000 artillery pieces aimed at Seoul, and the genesis of that problem is that it is (currently) not possible to neutralize all that artillery before Seoul is razed to the ground, the SK economy hit hard, and over a million people dead. That’s the real issue ...NK would be defeated, but not before they took Seoul with them. When that problem gets a solution then that is the day the KIM family will lose its hold over Pyongyang.
