America would eventually win, but the casualty count would exceed what we saw in Iraq and Afghanistan in about 2 week of fighting.

Even bombing their infrastructure would have no effect as the majority of their citizens don't have access to it anyways.. Plus Seoul would cease to exist in the first 15 minutes of any war.
It would be a bloodbath by all accounts considering the NK and SK have million man standing armies plus both having 8million man plus reserves. Though I think the battle might be a little more lopsided in favor of the South. If you recall Iraq also had modern arms, combat experience and a million man army. In contrast we have a North Korean army that can't maintain their equipment due to supply shortages, suffers from malnutrition and have very little training on said equipment due to lack of supplies and fuel.

They can't even afford to give all their soldiers rifles during the military marches.
