And the rest of the military/command structure sufficiently devastated to prevent more than soldier's attacking SKorea?

Do we have enough? What would it take?

Thanks for the quality input on all this. Soooooo glad you are part of FR's assessment teams in such matters. Big thanks.

Absent the nuclear trump card, North Korea has two chances of winning a war with South Korea: slim and none, and slim's on Christmas Vacation.

Actually, the question is whether we could restrain the ROK forces from charging on the Yalu, assuming that we merely wished to maintain the present status quo and not perform "regime change."
