1/4 of the required aircraft and 1/10 of the required troops to do this job.
Absent a nuclear preemption.

The armchair generals are weighing in...

You never go 100% for maneuvers. I don't believe the 3 to 1 force advantage would apply to the North Koreans. They're probably too hungry and thus not very motivated. The biggest loss of life would be on the South through mad artillery fire. The plan for the reconstruction of that stone-age country will have to be as great as the military one. IMHO.

Yes, it's an exercise.
Who knows what the real thing would involve, except the generals who are planning for it?
Could be the next Desert Storm, except with nukes, or it could be as small an action as one bullet from a Chinese Tokarev thru Rocket Man's brain while he sleeps, and then all the Norks sing their version of "The Witch Is Dead" and throw a big party, with catered Chinese food. Real food.
Or somewhere in between... This sounds like maybe a test run for something realistic like the former, maybe a show of force for the benefit of the Norks, all of them.

I agree.
I wonder how SK and Japan feels about any of this.
