The ground war though, is a different story. There will be heavy casualties in the SK army and civilians. It will be very confused, and difficult to tell who is on what side (as NK troops from the tunnels will likely have SK uniforms).

Has anyone ever considered the possibility that North Korea may actually come out of a war with the south victorious. A blitzkrieg attack accompanied with tactical nukes and prepositioned atomic demolition munitions could be successful. How is the United States going to invade a unified Korea amphibiously that is armed with nukes without totally destroying the country they are trying to liberate?
