    No strong opinion here.

    However if crazy North Korea did a WW2 style saturation bombing of the DMZ minefields and a bltzkrieg push into South Korea at on an overcast night they could have their troops and tanks shielded by South Korea's Capital and civilians before sunrise. US and UN airpower would be useless. UN ground forces are HEAVILY outnumbered by the North and civilians would be at risk.

    I do not think Western powers would want to risk infantry and civilians. The crazy dictator might actually pull it off....it has worked in the past for other crazy dictators.

    I am amazed the South Koreans have kept their capitol so close to the border after 50 years of an uneasy truce.

    That could have worked in the past. I don't think it works any more.

    That would require a high level of planning and efficiency and coordination of highly trained, motivated, competent troops.

    I'm no military expert but I think N. Korea fails on all those levels.

    N Korea has a 8 lane underground highway leading into S Korea according to one Marine captain on the US War Planning team. The idea is to detonate the tunnel at the S Korean end and drive the tanks etc. into battle.

    "Require...planning and efficiency and coordination of highly trained, motivated, competent troops"

    You seem to have accidentally forgotten ..planing, efficiency and highly trained, made evident in the pictures.

    Highly trained? The majority will be at a reasonable standard, the fighters in Afghanistan are given basic training with an ak47 and how to make IED's, enough to keep USA and UK at bay.

    Did you know that N Korea is the only country that use anti personnel lasers? They are illegal but they obviously don't care, not only do they blind troops on mass, they also prevent laser guided lock ons, they make it themselves now. (Its called the ZM-87)

    Motivation? ...there are reports that the people are that desperate, they have begun eating their children's bodies. They blame America and they believe S Korea is currently under the influence of America, in need of rescue and liberation. They have many family members in S Korea too. n Koreans are taught t fear Americans so much that in a recent article by a paper that reports on NK news, a woman spoke of how they have nightmares about Americans, even as adults. She used to have to keep candles burning in the night because of the nightmares. Americans with guns are the big fear and yesterday America flew bombers in NK's back garden....

    I am no military expert, I don't want to see anything happen. I hope nothing does. But this is not a country like any other, normal logic and appeals to reason don't apply.

    I hope you are correct sir82, I hope I am totally wrong.

    Those pictures prove that they have lots of soldiers that can stand, line up, march w guns and a few that can drive tanks and missile launchers.
