Unfortunately this is not a simple rotation switching out. These people are not called up under normal circumstances.

When have the American military faced a strong adversary since WWII. Had to use its nuclear Viagra to 'stay the course' in WWII, and since then the North American Empire always chooses to fight third world peasant populations, often using proxy forces.
And even in full open conflict against poorly armed peasants theyre not guaranteed a win (Vietnam).
Ha
And they still think that all the expensive overdesigned firepower at their disposal will succeed in 'defeating' people who will not give in.
Wars are won when the population you aim to subjugate eventually accept your terms, thay have to find life under occupation more comfortable than death under occupation. This is why Israel/palestine rages on, and why Iraq has only begun. They would rather die than be subjected to the violence and humiliation of an American occupation.

check out the list: A century of American Military interventions. Pay special attention to the predominance of third world countries, and the repeated threatening of virtually unarmed civilian populations with weapons of mass destruction including Nuclear weapons.
Who is the real aggressor? there is only one in my mind. The American Empire , stealing from the poor to feed the rich and lazy.
Whoa there, I cant say that without including a mention to the good old european ex-colonial states, but thats just the point, when colonialism was being abandoned across the globe, the new anmerican empire stepped in to take over, and stamp out anyones intentions iof working towards a better more equtable future. Not when theres profits to be made and third world commodities to be stolen from the poor. Thats what the people of the world are so piseed off about, Our (the world's) chances of peace and reconcilliation are being Pissed all over by the Bush Nazi Junta , and for what...PROFIT. Just to make a buck. Bastards.

what chance would they possibly have against North Korea?

Maybe the U.S. military isn't so awesome after all and they have to pick fights on 'defenceless' countries to make them look like they're powerful..
typical bully behaviour right to the letter.

According to Connor Freff Cochran over at AlterNet, preparations for a military draft are already well underway in the heart of the Empire.
