    A US invasion even now if the DPRK would be devastating for our troops. Mountainous, foliage, and we wouldn’t risk it because “nukes.”

      They could always have people from South Korea fight on the frontline. IIRC the US still has authority over the SK military if a war breaks out.

        I can’t remember exactly how much autonomy the ROK army has. But it’s a mandatory service (or fire fighting, for example. A public service) and most South Koreans want the US out anyways.

      Would the US even invade? Or would they just Cambodia that shit with tomahawks and cluster bombs and ten million gallons of Agent Orange?

        From my experiences/understanding from the army. It would be a combination of both. Strike the central infrastructure and military hard points to weaken it. Then do a troop invasion from the south, along with naval invasions on the west for sure to capture Pyongyang, and most likely the East as well to stop forced that would be fleeing from the either two. But that doesn’t take into account its potential allies (I’m assuming China) that would help defend it.

          Or the inevitable retaliation dropped into S. Korea which would send the entire peninsula into chaos and likely kick off a bunch of anti-American revolts down there.
