Well that's a ridiculous notion obviously. However; I do question the resolve of the North Korean fighter vs. that of the American soldier. You know me. I believe Americans are a fighting breed and would never doubt my brothers and sisters wouldn't come through. But they aren't fighting the slouches and slaves of Iraq. They are fighting well trained, dedicated and fanatical North Korean soldiers.
There was a distinct difference between fighting the German soldier and fighting the Japanese soldier during WWII. I think that distinction has a great deal to do with the Asian mindset which not only exists within the North Koreans but the likes of which hasn't been seen since WWII. We aren't talking about the average Ahmed Iraqi here. These guys take crazy to a new level.

The only way we would end the military conflict with Iran very quickly is with overwhelming air power and I'm not so sure we could do that. They sure shot down that drone with very little effort. Our air power wouldn't be unopposed. They have effective surface to air capabilities (obviously) and they have a capable air force that would actually be in the air as opposed to what we saw in Iraq which was almost no air defense.
Let's say we do effectively respond to Iran's air defenses, which we would but at a huge cost, then we have to deal with Iran's land and naval forces which are light years above what we saw in Iraq.
Again, I just don't know what you're comparing this to.
Says who? The Chinese and Russians would never allow that to happen.Korea wouldn’t be as tricky because then the Korean peninsula be reunited under the south’s form of government.

I think you're confusing North Korean civilians with North Korean military. I haven't heard of one North Korean defector that was a part of the military when they defected. They view it as a dishonor that is worse than death. Their families view it as a dishonor.
We aren't talking about the Middle Eastern culture where surrender or capture is acceptable.

I lived in Korea for two years. I lived one of those years north of freedom bridge basically on the DMZ.
the North Korean soldier is not invincible. They are poorly trained and poorly equipped and motivated by fear and intimidation. That’s not a recipe for loyalty and success. Your stereo typing of Asian culture is silly. They would not last long.
If there was a YS/ North Korean conflict. China and Russia wouldn’t have the power to stop a reunification under a South Korean form of government.

I don't know what you're basing that on. I provided all the reasons why your assertion is incorrect but all you keep saying is "nu uh".
Again I ask you who says? Once again I point to the fact that neither China nor Russia would allow that to happen.Korea wouldn’t be as tricky because then the Korean peninsula be reunited under the south’s form of government.
