Can this air defense cover a column of tanks and troops against our bombers and strike fighters when it crosses the DMZ?

Air power would dish out some serious punishment, but close to a million troops, a full corps of tanks, and over ten thousand artillery pieces all needing immediate suppression will overtax the air assets ability to respond. That like trying to hold back the tide with a bucket.

Aircraft need time to refuel, rearm, and get the pilots briefed on their targets. Meanwhile, the jewel of the south, Seoul, is a 40 mile walk from the border.

An attack by us, on frozen, barefoot, starving NK troops would be over in days. I don't care how many of them there are. One Apache can take out 3,000 in minutes if they are stupid enough to mass. A Specter can take out 10 times more.

Hate to beat the drums of war, but personally, I wish it would come now, rather than later.

Yes, I stood across the DMZ, and was willing to give up my life.

While the South Korean Army may not be the Israeli Defence Force it is not the same untrained Army of the late 1940's.

As the Israeli-Arab conflects show, larger forces does not always overwhelm smaller forces to cover short distances.

With every potental bottleneck for those invading forces identified and targeted since the last war I wouldn't bet money either way.

What worries me most is the possibility that South Korea with a much larger economy and population than North Korea has become over dependent on America to protect them in case of invasion. If China was to stay out of it there is no reason the South Koreans couldn't handle North Korea.
