Or will you and many others be very short sighted with future conflicts. We had this issue for the past couple of wars by the US.

I guess we can chance it and wait for a madman with nuclear weapons, to blow himself up.
Just drop so many bombs that there wont be anyone left to rebuild it for.
The real question is rather if you're willing to nuke them as a first strike option. NK has thousands of traditional artillery pieces filled with only god knows what within shelling distance of the biggest city in South Korea.
I think removing a Dictator and allowing both sides of Korea to co-exist once again is worth every penny.
Isn't that more of an issue to China, SK and other Asian countries?
What if we just made a deal with China where we would just let the Koreans duke it out amongst themselves, and then to respect the neutrality of the unified Korean state? The South would surely win that conflict, albeit with much loss of life but that's an eventuality that their military leaders must have planned for.
Rebuilding North (and South) Korea will be make the Iraq War aftermath look cheap.
We're talking hundreds of thousands of troop,, trillions of dollars and thirty years. And I don't mean direct military costs. I mean rebuilding infrastructure and fundamentally building the Civil Society of ex-North Korea.
If you want a point of reference, the peaceful reunification of East and West Germany cost about $3.6 trillion.
Because West Germany was wealthy, it and Europe shouldered most of those costs.
A New Korean War would devastate the south. The spending would be principally done by the Japan and USA. Are you ready to spend more than $3.6 trillion? Because that at the very least of what Korean unification would cost.
I would love to occupy another country and sink trillions into it. Yeah that's sarcasm.
I'm not interested in wasting even more money on other countries when we have problems of our own to deal with.

But it won't be the US that has to bear the cost of a war with NK, it will be SK, China and Japan probably.
Look it wasn't Turkey that invaded Iraq, they had nothing to do with Iraq and didn't even allow the US to use turkish bases. But right now the majority of the cost is for turkey to bear and a some by Europe.
The biggest cheerleaders of the war, the US and Uk, have been trying to avoid taken responsibility of the shit they created.
