Can we bomb them yet?

Doubt it.

Do people think that soldiers on the ground would follow through with an all-out attack order on the south? Aren't there a lot of families (and thus soldiers) who have been split up and have family on both sides? I question wether the soldiers on the ground or the people with their fingers on the launch button would actually go through with an order to commit mass homicide on their former countrymen and potentially their family members.

My only knowledge comes from the elective course I took in college about Korean modern history, so I don't claim to know enough about them, but it seems that may be an issue.

That is a genuinely good thought. My gut says they would do it, without question simply because of how brainwashed they are. I also know that sometimes soldiers have problems following orders that they themselves don't agree with or can't consciously deal with. In my mind, I'd like to think that they would see the ramifications of their actions and maybe not pull the trigger...but I wouldn't count on that with my life or the life of civilians. I knew quite a few ROK's who had family in the North and said that they would have a hard time fighting them if it ever came back down to that...but that they'd do it. The South Korean's in general just feel sorry for the North's average citizen.
