The Horrible Things North Korean Soldiers Have to Go Through

[@hawkmcintyre220]

I was in the army and spent 18 months in S. Korea and the border of N. Korea. One of the big things (for us at least) was the yellow dust and pollution that would drift over from China. Sometimes we weren’t allowed outside because the air was so dangerous. When I was on the DMZ I somehow managed to get a picture (I always had a camera with a good zoom on me) of a N. Korean soldier. When you zoomed in you could see that his uniform was way too big for him and he was extremely malnourished. You could also see huge calluses on his knuckles.

A North Korean man who defected now lives in the US had trouble finding a job but wanted to save money so he only ate potatoes for three months straight. That's how accustomed he was at eating ONLY potatoes for long periods. It was so natural for him that he had no trouble feeling sick from eating the same food over and over again. It wasn't a potato soup or a potato based dish. It was literally just potatoes steamed until cooked. Three months! That was the only thing he ate and he was content with it and it didn't even bother him at all.

I'm not North Korean but I've survived on roasted sunflower seeds and energy drinks for almost a year and one sandwich 2 or 3 times every month during that same year! From 65kg I came back home 52kg young man looking like female photo model. My parents were very scared they though I got some illness. Why this happened? I was working agriculture in another country and drinking one or two energy drinks in the morning at 6am before work was enough. When I finished work at around 2pm, back home, shower and then movies, TV shows, football (soccer), chatting with my family, watching videoclips, all that literally the rest of the day until midnight - every day. The sunflower seeds were sustaining me as I ate like 6-7 very large packs a day while watching movies and TV shows. Its like I couldn't find time to go to the kitchen and cook something. I did not have much inside it anyways as I don't like cooking. I considered cooking and even properly eating as a waste of time... Yeah I know, don't say it. I know I was wrong and stupid. I'm not torturing myself like that anymore though.

It certainly is True, North Korea has one of the largest militaries in the world. I believe that it is the fourth largest one. But, one of the major problems is, most of their military members are incredibly under nourished. And are ill prepared for combat. There fore, it is more than likely, that in the event of any confrontation with them, Kim Jung Un would more than likely resort to using some ( or all ) of their nuclear weapons. We can only hope that like most other things in that country, the weapons of mass destruction that they do possess, are in operational, and do not properly work. Maybe a missile that they do launch into the atmosphere, at us. Would double back, and strike them, instead. lol

I served in the Finnish Defense Force, as every man in Finland has to, but military service in Finland was actually one of the best experiences of my life. While it is important to maintain discipline, soldiers in Finland are granted the same rights as every civilian in Finland. Pay is decent, we got three healthy and nutritious meals a day, each soldier is allowed about 6 hours of free time after the daily service is concluded and almost every weekend is off-duty-time, with some exceptions. Uniforms and equipment were comfortable and in working order. Punishments can be hard, but even then soldiers are treated as human beings.

I have been to South Korea twice. The first time in 1967, it was TDY from Taiwan. I didn't make it to the full 90-day tour. The N. Koreans came across towards Seoul. I believe only one survived and was captured. The second time was in 1985 and I was there for a regular 1-year tour. I had the opportunity to go to the DMZ. It was a very eye-opening trip. Being a photographer I normally had my equipment close at hand. I was taking pictures from the pagoda we were on facing north. I pointed my camera toward the guard on the other side and the guard became very agitated. The military guide turned and looked at me and said that I had made him angry because my camera and lens combo was bigger than his equipment. I just smiled and waved to him, move to another location, and continued with my photography. Back then we knew the condition in the north was bad, but not to the extent we can see now. And as another person has commented their uniforms were always too big. I felt the heaviness that was coming from the north. It is sad how people can reverence one person and put them above human decency blows my mind. I spent 22 years in the military and I respect the office, rank, or grade of the individuals over me. But I will never put any one person above God or the dignity of a human being.

In 1967 I was only in SK for just under 90 days for my TDY tour. I was in Seoul at the 8th Army area. The area outside of the military installation was very primitive. None of the upscale modern buildings as I saw when I went back in 1985. Right outside of the installation, I can only remember seeing one traffic light hanging very loosely and swinging back and forth. Pass that light there were lots of rice fields. The scariest part of being there then was the constant threat of NK coming across. That did happen in my last month there and I was able to leave early and go back to Taiwan. I can't really say that I enjoyed that short tour there because I did not get out and involve myself in the real culture. My second time was different, in the middle, Camp Humphreys, I learned a lot about what surviving was all about. I know today SK has just jumped in change and it is still growing.

I grew up starving despite living in North America, my parents just didn't buy me food, and because I was very afraid of them, I didn't tell on them. People outside this area of understanding often ask "Why do they comply?", and I did grow up also feeling some sense of guilt and embarrassment, but that was all internal only. Outwardly I would never dare to risk getting in trouble which would not only affect me, but the rest of my family members. The word "brainwashing" isn't taken very seriously, probably because of how silly the words sound together, but it should be taken extremely seriously. It's not something to be embarrassed of or something that only happens to stupid people. You only need to be broken down and susceptible to it which can happen for a variety of reasons. Starving and eating the same foods for every meal plays no small part in being unable to act for yourself. It drives you insane. I used to cry often, secretly, because I was so hungry and it was driving me mad. I felt uncontrollably unnerved. I didn't know that I could have told someone about my problems, I had no concept or idea of what it would be to trust anyone, I had no idea. So I don't question how it happens to others.

I’m currently in the US military and I already finished my basic training and now I’m training on my mos ( Military occupational specialty ). But anyways, I actually enjoyed joining the military and the basic training staying away from my family for more than 2 months and finally meeting them on my graduation. We were given our phones for 15-20 mins every Sunday only. We had to train everyday except Sunday. But our living condition was very nice. We had warm showers, washers and dryers on our floor for free, we were given a wall locker which was quite big and even had another locker inside it with 3 drawers for personal stuff. Our beds were somewhat nice, we were given 2 blanket and 2 sheets and a pillow. We were given meals 3 times a day and it wasn’t that bad. We had desserts, fruits and veggies and condiments. But over here in AIT ( advanced individual training ), it’s much much nicer. We have a nice room with 3 of us living in one room. One bunk bed and a single bed, 2 night stands with drawers for each of us and 2 lamps. Also, we have 3 desks for us and 3 personal drawers on each desk with a comfy chair and a lamp on each desk. 3 lockers with cubbies inside. 1 toilet in each room and a sink. It’s quite comfortable here compared to North Korea

This is why a war with North Korea isn't really something big on the radar of anyone who knows geopolitics. NK would have to either become subordinate to their neighbors for supplies (most likely China, but possibly Russia) during a war or they would have to begin pillaging those neighbors just to get basic supplies. This is what happens when you grab an entire country's population by the balls and force them to remain loyal despite it being literally the worst option available. It doesn't help that China, one of the only countries in the world who will openly trade with NK, is at least as evil as the Kim family running NK. Add into this the severe Stockholm Syndrome of the North Korean people and you've got a recipe for poverty and suffering unlike any other place on Earth. These people's "normal" is the nightmare condition for almost every other place on Earth.

The North Korean Government has been told to make life condition for their citizens WORSE than how they should be only for the Nation's economic condition ON PURPOSE, because half-famined people don't have the phisical strenght to rebel... at all. Moreover, defector said that, when revolts starts in one province (because they starts, sometimes) special unit from the army, the only ones actually armed, trained to use firearms and well feeded, comes and killes everybody (usually other soldiers) who have revolted. Since in North Korean internal mobility isn't allowed (you need a special permit from the Government to go outside of your little village, even in the same province) and since national tv and newspaper never talk about this local revolts, other citizen knows NOTHING of what happens, making national coordinates revolts impossible to happen.

We got to go to the Victorious War Museum (where the USS Pueblo is), and we aren't allow to wonder the place on our own we were led by a female soldier that looks almost exactly like the one standing besides the tourist in the video. I think they specially chose female soldiers as guides as there are a batch of them there leading other groups to the museum. But it was mostly man when we were at the DMZ. The one that led us was friendly and allow us to take photos with him, smiling all the way through. Though I must say he is kinda thin...

[@cherryblossoms85]

Probably because he knows that his government lies. We westerners aren't all bad.

[@lightninggaming016]

He is thin because they don't have access to any good food unlike other countries

Korea Military Bases Abroad: 0 The U.S: Oh my gosh China & N. Korea are expanding their military capability!! 😱 Remember, indiscriminate coward aerial bombing over cities and towns in the Korean war wiped out 20% of the innocent civilian population in North Korea. Moreover, century-old bullied practices of Capitalist Imperialist Western Sanctions over other nations throughout the whole wide world, (including in N. Korea, where Western sanctions caused over a million innocent N. Koreans deaths in famine/starvation in the past) are nothing more than "Economic Terrorism"; plain and simple. 🤔 'Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It'. Remember, Germany in the pre-World War II era, was imposed upon with numerous and heavy war reparations, tariffs and sanctions by Western Colonial Powers for over a quarter century; eventually when that nation sank into mega depression, which made way for World War II, as Germany struck back. A similar scenario ran in Japan, when that nation too was bullied by maritime sanction; essentially blocking the whole island through naval blockade by Anglo Western naval ships for so long until Japan ran out of (imported) oil, and struck back at Pearl Harbor naval base that participated in year-long sanctions. People of North Korea have suffered long enough, half a century of sanctions by the West, resulting in the death of over a million innocent people due to starvation & famine. 🤔 For truths, pls read insightful multi-pages 'Ole Fella' comment at., "China-US tensions: A closer look at the Five-Eyes intelligence partnership / CGTN".

It's all come down to the West's dependency on China's Rare Earth Minerals. North Korea is targeted by the Imperialist West all because it possesses the second largest deposits of 'Rare Earth Metals' in the world; worth several Trillion Dollars. These very rare 'Rare Earth Metals', are essential ingredients in modern electronic equipment. They are found largely in places like China & N. Korea, which held three quarters of the world's rare earth reserves. Remember, twenty years ago, it was Iraq, and Saddam, and WMD (weapon of mass destruction). The real motive was Oil. Today, it is North Korea, Kim, and nuclear weapons. The real motive is Rare Earth Minerals. Same old lame old Colonialist-turned Capitalist Imperialist trick.
