Having the 5th largest army in the world in the 21st century means exactly what? Iraq prior to the 1991' Gulf War had the 4th largest army in the world and they ended up on the short end of the stick. There is no second place in war. The U.S. does'nt need to invade S. Korea since it already has forces located within the country, Camp Humphreys is a major United States Army base located near Anjung-Ri, adjacent to the Pyeongtaek metropolitan area (Gyeonggi-do province) South Korea. Many Koreans still refer to Camp Humphreys by its Korean War era name, K-6. Camp Humphreys is located 55 miles (89 km) South of Seoul and is one of the U.S. Army's fastest growing installations. "The Hump" as it is affectionately known, is home to Desiderio Army Airfield (one of the busiest overseas airfields with over 60,000 movements annually)..The US used to operate 'Team Spirit' semi annual joint military operations with S. Korean Armed forces up until 1993' and these canceled and replaced with other less visible programs. Basically N. Korean
forces invading over the DMZ would get about couple of km's before the whole neighborhood including N. Korea would get pounded back to the stone age-minus a lot of innocent civilians.
