Yeah, I don't know how you would avoid heavy Korean casualties - Seoul is so close to the DMZ. If we pulled a preemptive air strike I would think the North Koreans would retaliate by attacking Seoul from air and ground.

Unless we and the South Koreans can launch a successful ground offensive designed to push the frontline out of artillery range of Seoul at the same time, I don't see how retaliation against Seoul can be avoided either.

With the NK history of using infiltrators during the war you can bet they have plenty in SK now just waiting if they're needed.
