True, but I think (North) Vietnam had much more functioning government/infrastructure, and a much more stable food supply, than North Korea does right now.
And of course, any hostilities against North Korea would be of a different sort than they were in Vietnam. And the North Koreans aren't tied to their government by religion, or really anything.
I know there was a silly sentiment that Iraqi citizens would "greet us in the streets", but I think we'd actually be dealing with a much more sympathetic populace, and even possibly opposing military, than any other military situation I can think of.
