The U.S. probably won't use any mass destruction weapons - the country is full of people that don't want to be there.
They risk death crossing the river to China and the DMZ to SK.
NK's primary fighting force are infantry - each solder is given 15 bullets, after that they're meat shields (and they know it).
NK's people see starving - pulling up weeds for dinner. They're forced to live oppressed in a way westerners can't understand.
Those people need to be liberated - alive.

Pardon me for the comments I'm about to make etc, because I'm sure a whole bunch of gentle souls will be appalled....
1. Why should that stay our hands in the slightest? Honestly, i really want an answer because i truly don't get how that should affect our decision making in the slightest?
2. With what we already know about those camps and etc... The kindest thing we could do for those poor souls might be to trigger the execution orders rather than suffering the mind body and spirit breaking neverending torment they would otherwise face years or even decades more of before merciful death finally ends their torment.... I hate that I'm even saying this, but truthfully these people are already suffering fates worse than death!
Another major factor to consider is that under any of the potential scenarios which could unfold, if kju is killed or captured or etc ... The Chinese have made it very clear that a western controlled north Korea is off the table completely. This means that even if the prisoners aren't killed when we attack, there's basically zero likelihood of the Chinese letting people out of the camps, much less providing the massive amounts of psych medical financial housing employment and other aid every released prisoner would need!
Yes it sucks, i don't like it either...
But at the end of the day the people in those camps and even north korean civilians being used as human shields are completely irrelevant to the big picture and should absolutely not in any way limit our choices on how to handle this situation.

What about a leadership decapitation strike. Wait for the great leader to get his top aids and general Yu Stin Ki Pu or whomever together in one spot to witness their nuke production facility and wouldnt you know it another completely coincidental industrial accident happens. Like if it were real foggy that night.
I dunno roguie. Nork is a pretty dark place wouldnt shedding a little light for them be beneficial.

Korean leadership has standing orders to execute all prisoners in concentration camps if the US invades. So that will also happen to the korean people as well. they will be meat shields to protect their dear leader.
