Halfway hope a conflict breaks out in another year to year and a half or so when I've enlisted and finished Ranger School for the Army.

I'd rather be fighting a conventional war than a mostly unconventional war (Iraq/Afghanistan) against the Taliban and other snackbar groups.

Would much prefer to engage an enemy directly a majority of the time than have to deal with guerilla style attacks. Let's also not forget IEDs. Fuck those things.


The North Koreans would go guerilla warfare faster than you could say annyeong-haseyo

Probably would. They lose either way, but they could definitely prolong their fight against us through unconventional warfare.

They supposedly have small arsenals scattered all around the country.

They are well prepared for an invasion, and the mountainous terrain combined with the thousands of tunnels and hideouts makes it perfect for a guerrilla warfare. Defeating them would take a long, long time.

The whole point of guerrilla warfare is that you don't need much in terms of weaponry to be capable.

I'm not convinced the populace of NK would be capable of even using them.

Yeah but the populace of NK isn't trained as far as I know, so they wouldn't even really be able to effectively use it.

I'd expect that the population would learn something during the 10 year long mandatory military conscription (5 for women).

Most North Koreans would join the foreign power if anyone attempted a coup on Supreme God Jong Un.

The tunnels are all over the place. Also, bomb a tunnel or hideout only to realize it also served as storage for biological/chemical/nuclear weapons and you have yourself a huge problem.

The fact that it will be almost impossible to find out where are all of the WMD locations, and that it's suspected that they are pretty well distributed around the nation, is going to deter the abuse of airstrikes. If a war were to break out (which I'm sure it won't), it would for the most part be a painfully slow invasion by land.
