Okay this shouldn't even be a question. First of all the US is the most powerful country this side of the Galaxy, north Korea Isnt even half that They are extremely poor, they have only one Major ally in China who would not risk its thriving economy whit defending puny little KIm Jong Il. They may have nukes but so do we and if they do that then they might as well be Martyrs because the US has plenty of its own and would easily wipe North Korea off the map literally. We have way more firepower via cruise missles, predator drones, stealth bomberrs(The US is the only country to own one) plus with the help of the South Korean Army this war would end in less than 2 years. They may have a massive army but I completely doubt that North Korea would stand a chance against the Superpower of The United States

GOD BLESS AMERICA

In military terminology, an "amphibious assault" refers specifically to the movement of troops from a water-borne transport onto land. Historically, this has exclusively meant the use of small boats and similar craft to move troops and equipment from large vessels onto a beach (or, rarely, a prepared dock such as at a port), which may or may not be actively defended.

In modern times, it often includes some component of helicopter-borne troop movements. Thus, a modern amphibious assault generally consists of small units of troops being ferried ashore in special-purpose assault watercraft or hovercraft in combination with some troops being landed immediately behind the beaches by helicopters or parachute. The key portion of amphibious assault is the "over-the-beach" portion, where the vast majority of the fighting force comes ashore. If the attack primarily relies on other methods of transporting troops to the combat zone, then it is called some other form of "assault" (e.g. airborne assault, airmobile assault, etc.)

No.

In the 1990s 2 million North Koreans died of starvation. The present situation may dwarf those numbers as 6.5 million people face food shortages and starvation. North Korea is actively engaged in talks with the United States which may result in food aid. South Korea halted aid as it is waiting for North Korea to ask for it. South Korea has a new conservative government that is critical of North Korea, so the poor are suffering as governments hash out their ego contest.

In the past, North Koreans who escaped to China or South Korea reported cannibalism during particularly difficult food shortages.

The Korean War was fought between the Communist Superpowers of the Soviet Union/Red China and the nations of the Free World, primarily using the North & South Koreans as the fighters and the soil of Korea as the arena. Although US & Red Chinese troops ultimately became directly involved, the war was still fought on Korean soil.

Kim Li Sung was Koreas communist leader and Syngman Rhee was the leader of the South Korea republic

-edit-

Kim Il-Sung is recorded to have been an anti-Japanese guerrilla fighter during Korea's occupation. Upon the establishment of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, he was given the titles of President and later, Prime Minister. Despite his given titles, he functioned as a communist-inspired totalitarian dictator.

Syngman Rhee was the first president of the provisional government of Korea (during Japanese occupation). After leading the South in the Korean war, he became the President of the Republic of Korea. However, after growing unpopular due to his authoritarian policies, he was forced into resignation and exile.

The Korean War is not really going on. The problem is that the U.S. and Japan seem to be allies with South Korea since the Korean War time. China is an allie with North Korea and this caused a problem. Mostly as you know the U.S. economy is based on Chinese goods, while Chinese economy is based on how much the U.S. spend on their goods. Korea in whole truly has been separated because of the separate parties. I hope I have answered your question!

In terms of violence and scale yes. In terms of area and time no.

Korea commenced immediately as a conventional war; with tanks and aircraft, ships and men. But it was confined to the Korean peninsula, and lasted only 3 years.

Vietnam began like a cancer and escalated from a guerrilla war into a conventional war after 1964 (due to the Tonkin Gulf Incident). In Vietnam, which was not a peninsula, bombing and infiltration affected the bordering nations of Cambodia and Laos, and had the potential to spread to further neighboring countries had the US pursued the war with even more determination than it actually did. However, the US desparately tried to confine the war to only South Vietnam, with an aerial war over North Vietnam, and "secret" bombings of Laos and Cambodia.

Men that fought in Europe during WWII against Germany and fought in Korea stated that Korea was far colder. British Centurion tank tracks froze to the ground and their gasoline engines had to keep running all night to keep from freezing up (failure to start).

The US Armys mighty .30 caliber M1 carbine (and M2 Carbine, the full auto version) which served so well in WWII, froze up constantly in the Korean weather.

The M1 carbine is not to be confused with the M1 garand rifle; both of WWII & Korean War fame.
