The Iraq war was easy. It was trying to defend it from terrorists post war that took forever. Being we aren't allowed to kill civilians, our enemies best bet is to not wear uniforms or try to out do us as far as tanks or planes and navy vessels, it's to blend in with their civilians and take pot shots at us. Look at Afghanistan as well, that wasn't even a conventional military vs military war. In a war like that (military power) we would decimate in a matter of no time.

The war wasn't over until the US left Iraq. It officialy lasted 8 years. NK would absolutely use civilians as shields. Hell, they would probably give guns to children so US soldiers would have to shot them. So, compared to Iraq, they are better armed, have more soldiers, are completely obsessed with their leader (a good portion of Iraq population was against Saddan) and will act with total disregard international laws with way more ease. It would be an ugly war, for sure.

The only "easy" wars we have is when someone quits. Like Gulf War. For millions of North Koreans, Jong-un is a god. I wouldn't count on them quitting.
