Also, why bother? Let NK fold on its own.
If NK does start something, its artillery will not last long. Surely, it will kill a few thousand SK citizens before it is converted into scrap by the bombers and reply artillery.
One point is that SK can pinpoint each and every artillery piece as soon as it fires once. This permits returning the fire even before the incoming rounds strike. The instant response method cut Saddam's artillery to shreds in only a few hours in 1991. Our systems have improved since then.
However, I don't see any reason to start it, and I doubt if NK could maintain an offensive, or even a defensive bombardment for more than a few hours.
When Baby Kim dies, NK will likely die with him or soon afterward, without even a shot being fired.

I don't think it is worth the risk. Too many things will go wrong.
