The US Military Can Defeat North Korea

Peter Pace had some “what if” comments on engaging North Korea:
The U.S. military’s top officer said Thursday that the Pentagon would have sufficient forces to win if called on to fight a war in North Korea, but the conflict would be more difficult without the intelligence and guidance systems devoted to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that about 200,000 U.S. troops were deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, leaving more than 2 million troops available for a war in Asia.
FWIW, this is the same thinking that is shared by most faculty members at the Staff/War Colleges.
