> Bannon's estimate of 20 million is perhaps exaggerated, but probably not by that much.
It is exaggerated by two or three orders of magnitudes from most published estimates.
For that many people to die, the entire population of Seoul ( 10 million ) plus half that of the greater metropolitan area would have to move to the northern regions of the city within range of the North's artillery and the latter would have to be 100% fatal.
Even counting the population of cities between the DMZ and Seoul only adds two million.
