Even though most of the stuff they have is obsolete, the fact that they were able to collect so much of it is impressive (in a way).......

They have 120'000 special operations troops, But by their standars it probably means they can read........

They may be North Korean, but i'll tell you what; a bullet sounds the same in any language, so put a ****ing sock in it!

Wasn't in the best mood to humour blatant racism when I made that post.

I'm not sure CD meant anything against the North Koreans per se, just with a government like that who suppress their people's education and freedom,the ability to read may be lacking!

Yes, because the ability to read in a country where every piece of literature is indoctrination propaganda would really hurt the government......

Of course, those exact same allegations could be levelled at another, somewhat larger nation, but then again it's NK, so who cares.

[Wobble73]

 :confused:Is the UK a larger nation than North Korea??

[Mefustae]

Oh for... I don't know why I even bother. *Mutter*

[Colonol Dekker]

LAWL, This is blown out of context.......

*uses flux capacitor to prevent CD posting original post*

Original context of post changed to inply NK army is mediocre and spec ops are equivalent to UK cadets......

[Wobble73]

Yep, someone needs humour tranplant, STAT!

[Night Hammer]

their air force section is a joke, any modern country has bombs that can get into those 'underground hangars.' And they still use Mig-17s and -19s

[NGTM-1R]

The article rightly makes the point that they have huge forces and zero staying power. Give them a week and their logistics will be on the verge of collapse. Even the Iraqis did better then that the first time around.

Another point: they have an incredible amount of infantry, but their armored strength is less then impressive (the most recent tank given in their list is the T-62; 115mm gun but unimpressive muzzle velocity, armor's hopeless against modern munitions). Men against fire. As any soldier or commander from World War I onward can tell you, fire kills. Not men. They've got a lot of targets, but all that's going to get is some gunner on an LAV or Bradley painting huge numbers of hash marks on his turret.

The only viable threat North Korea really has handy is the fact they could make South Korea uninhabitable for the next few decades via chemical weapons alone.

The US may be bad, but it is not that bad, the government may try to indoctrinate a lot of us, but only the stupid / those who want to be war mongers / uneducated are actually indoctrinated.

And yeah... they do have quite a large force, even if it isn't that good. The People's Liberation Army is both good and huge, which impresses me.

Mefustae, you ****ing eleitest moron, North Korea is a nation that spends 2% of it's GDP building a hotell with substandard cement in atempt to win a pissing contest with another country that doesn't even notice, then when they fail they don't have the funds to even tare there disgrace down so they just will it away by ignoreing it. it's infastructure is from the 1950s, it IS a crazy upside down bakwards crazy land that throughs the money that should be used to feed it's people to by every last scrap of military hard ware it can in an attempt to scare people into thinking they have anything but a bluff. calling someone a racist for pointing this out is just the most mind numbingly infuriateing anti-thought I have heard sence the last presidential speach.

HOW is that suposed to be racist?

is it because he is saying something bad about someone who your political enimy has said something bad about? you trying to defend the honor of North Korea because Bush has made it clear he'd like to invade?

...

quit being a moron.

[Kosh]

Bush made it clear he won't invade.

[Mefustae]

quit being a moron.

But I do it so well!
