I travel to Korea for business a couple times a year and that's what I've been told by people who I thought at the time should know. Having thought it through a bit more, G*d only knows what policy changes may have been put in place by the brass the Sinkmeister had eight years to put in place. Hopefully, things are now back on a firm footing.

On the face of it, one would think there really aren't a lot of conventional options for 37,000 against a million man corps of fanatics primed to go, even when you add in what the ROK forces can do. I'd certainly welcome critiques from anybody with better and more up-to-date information. The Korean terrain favors defense and maybe things aren't on such a hair-trigger. This shield pounding by the North Koreans is probably mostly noise, but it can't be entirely ignored.

WELL SAID.

Exceedingly reasonable to me.

I'd be interested in a diversity of informed input on it, too.
