America's modern doctrine of overwhelmingly winning one, while sustaining
another major war is still in effect -- the "thinnes" is not the problem...
There are about 80K US troops in Asia -- Japan and South Korea. That (plus
the thousands of South Korean troops) is perfectly enough to secure the
territory pulverized by heavy weaponry.
Even if there were 4 times more American troops there, (twice more than in
Iraq), the options would still be rather limited...
The problem is North Korea's heavy artillery aimed at Seoul. Even if the
guns only make ONE volley, little will be left of the South Korea's
capital, which is, unfortunately, too close to the border.
In my opinion the best is to starve the regime. Perhaps, China and South
Korea (with its stupid "sunshine" policy) will finally see the light and
stop feeding them.
However inhumane this approach may appear towards the ordinary North
Koreans, the status quo means continuing misery for them. And it already
lasted for 40 years...
