Gaming War

Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey said the United States is ready to fight a conventional ground war on the Korean peninsula if needed, despite draining conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Pentagon has wisely long kept itself ready for a sudden conflict with North Korea, where loss of life would likely be massive. One of the best studies I have seen on how a new Korean war would go appeared in the Atlantic in 2005. The only good thing that could come of such a conflict would be the end of the North Korean regime, which now probably can no longer count on China to save it from destruction if war erupts.
