South Korea, Conventional Capabilities, and the Future of the Korean Peninsula - War on the Rocks...

Commentary on the Korean Peninsula situation that looks at the North Korean threat of nuclear weapons and potential South Korean responses to counter this threat. According to the article, South Korea's response focuses on 3 main fronts: "South Korea’s approach has three core components. The first two, the Kill Chain strategy and the Korean Air and Missile Defense system, were revealed in 2012 and the third, the Korean Massive Punishment and Retaliation strategy, was announced in 2016 following North Korea’s fifth nuclear test. The Kill Chain strategy entails detecting imminent North Korean missile attacks and then pre-emptively destroying the country’s missile launch capabilities. The Korean Air and Missile Defense is a largely indigenous, layered missile defense system, while the final component — the Korean Massive Punishment and Retaliation strategy — involves the use of multiple kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities to target North Korean leadership facilities following any North Korean attack." I have not been to Korea yet, and would like insights on anyone who may have served in the Korean War or even afterwards- during the current Ceasefire of hostilities. Thanks...
