Ok I'll admit that's factually incorrect. What I meant to say was that NK can destroy Seoul with their tank missiles (i don't know what they call those). THAAD is mainly there to protect against the missiles that could be used to attack Japan and Hawaii/Alaska/mainland USA. If NK were to attack one of SK's islands such as Jeju Island or Busan (2nd biggest SK City located a couple hours south of the DMZ), then yes THAAD would be employed.

formerly Theater High Altitude Area Defense, is a United States Army anti-ballistic missile system which is designed to shoot down short, medium, and intermediate range ballistic missiles in their terminal phase using a hit-to-kill approach


Most of SK is considered closer than "short range" then?
