The KIA/WIA would most likely be in the 10s of thousands with a million plus civilian casualties in very short order.
That wouldn't happen because we wouldn't do a ground war with them we would fight from the air which our air force is much more powerful than their's.

The second that NK detonates a nuke or tries to in SK or on one of our bases, their whole country would be turned into a nuclear wasteland.

Pray that some sanity can come to this peninsula before it is too late.
Imagine what we can do now to North Korea's army. We have non-nuclear bombs that can collapse their entire underground military tunnel system. It's been about 60 years since we were at war with them and we've developed quite a bit more weaponry that is a hell of a lot more advanced than what we had. No offense to NK but I don't think that they have anything that could possibly cause us casualties except for underground tunnels which like I already said in this post we can easily collapse with one bomb.
