“How do you prevent South Korea from being flattened”
I still think that there would, of necessity, be the need for a massive attack on NK’s border installations, because you could not completely rely on the rank and file not commencing firing on Seoul. Seoul’s proximity to the border is a big problem, but with current weapons technology today, it probably doesn’t make as big a difference as it once did.
Although I am in fact a miscellaneous expert, the military complexity of Korea is actually beyond my capacity.
I will not argue with your point.
