Pffft... the US has nothing to worry about. We'll throw 10,000 casualties at it then pull out and watch the fun, and chuckle at the long term consequences as Europe's fuel prices rise 100%.

Shit... prepare for a draft.

[link to www.spacedaily.com]

With an array of artillery trained on Seoul, North Korea could easily blast the glass towers of the South's booming capital for days and kill huge numbers of civilians before US and South Korean forces prevailed, experts said.

"Official Pentagon models assume it would take months to win the war at a cost approaching one million casualties or more, all told, including dead and wounded," Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, told AFP.

"And that's without nuclear weapons being used," said O'Hanlon, who wrote a book looking at the effects of a potential war.



Or China entering the war.... hiding
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1174204

Thing here is that planners did not take into account the increased accuracy of our missiles, they will take out those facilities, and every artillery piece, they will get one or two shots ,max, south koreans have weapons too and will use them, they are valuable allies, not like iraqi or afghans

The Koreans and Chinese don't stand a chance, marching their primitive mechanized infantry against the army that controls the land, sea, sky, and space.

China mobilizes 500 tanks and 10,000 men, the US drops 1 0r 2 kinetic kill vehicles on the column from 280,000 miles in orbit.

Maybe you need to read.

1 million dead wouldn't be 1 million dead TROOPS. It would be like 100 000 troops, mostly South Koreans, and 900 000 civilians.

And you killed a million Iraqis while losing 5000 soldiers and about 40 000 wounded.

But you didn't fought a real army, you fought fucking Iraq army who disbanded after a week.

If China comes in, they don't fucking care about losses and will just rush your ass with 5 million soldiers if they want to.

Re: US military planners : If war erupts, it'll take at least a few months and a million dead to defeat NKorea
My father took 2 bullets to the neck during the Korean War and was in the hospital for six months recovering. He barely made it. He said it was Chinese troops that they were fighting in that battle. He was operating a quad 50 cal and said that it was like pissed off ants coming out of an ant hill. They would put out everything they had onto the field of fire and kill thousands and they would just keep coming. He is now 80 and really worried about this...he said fighting the Chinese would be a bad idea since they would just send millions of soldiers at us with no worry about causalties or losses.




The US military can't win a war against third worlders. There is no way we could win a war against north korea, they have allies. We already tried it remember. Damn, do they teach history in school anymore.


The US kicked their ass all the way to the Yalu River. Until General MacArthur was fired by the then President Truman because he wanted to invade China next. Which is when we basically fell back to the original line (the 38th parallel).

It wasn't time then (in the eyes of TPTB) to take China.

LOL MacArthur got his ass kicked by the Chinese.

MacArthur defeated the North Koreans, not the chinese.

Then the Chinese came in and kicked the US ass till the 38th parallel.

China isnt an old tech country. they have airpower, a large navy , advanced missle programs , a space program and an army that is said to be 4 million strong but was boasted at 600 million in the 60's...and even though that sounds like too large a number of troops...its not. They have billions of people and with a draft could reach and pass those kind of numbers. Look, theres a reason why we kept spending money on the military at a cold war pace even after the USSR fell. That reason is china. We are deeply afraid of the sheer numbers they have in the case of war. If china does "throw millions of troops at Korea" there isnt a whole helluva lot we can do about that.
I still dont think anything big will happen ...china will make them play nice because it hurts china and her plans if they dont. it will pass.

 Quoting: somedude1

Yeah, they could muster a couple hundred million total ignorant conscripts to march towards South Korea. Half of them would die on the way, due to sickness and hunger,. Another 30% would die due to precision strikes with high explosives and kinetic weapons by the US, and when the remaining 20% arrived, they'd be demoralized, cut off from supplies, and bound for death.

You do know that they can level Seoul in less than a day right?

There's 22 million people in Seoul.


Just 20 minutes of firing by North Korea on Seoul would kill 500 000 people.

Except, they wouldn't be able to fire for more than 5 minutes in a total war scenario. Their guns are already targeted from orbit.
