CNN reports that “the commander of American forces in South Korea warned Wednesday that a conflict with North Korea could resemble the scale of World War II.”  

“Describing what the confrontation might look like, Gen. Curtis Scaparrrotti said that, ‘Given the size of the forces and the the weaponry involved, this would be more akin to the Korean War and World War II — very complex, probably high casualty.'”  

“Scaparrotti made the statement while testifying before the House Armed Services Committee.”
