NK has one of the largest standing armies in the world - top five I think - but it's poorly trained, and it's equipment is very old and barely works. On the other hand, South Korea has the world's sixth largest army.
The problem with wars is that in the past twenty years we've fought very quick engagements with armies that are not interested in fighting (which may be the case in NK). If the US became involved in a ground war with NK it would be a huge long affair with ten of thousands or hundreds of thousands dieing on both sides.
Not sure if the US population has the stomach for that.
