It was only last April that Kim Jong-eun purged Ri Yong-ho, a career soldier and a top military man, with the help of Choe Ryong-hae. Later, it turned out that Defense Minister Kim Jung-gak was also purged. So Choe should be flying high and working hard to further consolidate Kim Jong-eun's power. However, Kim Jong-eun now turned on Choe only several months after the momentous purge? There are reports that Choe is deeply unpopular among military ranks because he is a man of no military background who suddenly landed on one of the most powerful military positions, turning the top military ranks upside down, left and right. So is this a belated attempt to appease military? Still it does not look good.

because he is a man of no military background

What military background? Does anybody in the NK Army have any experience other than brutalizing unarmed peasants?

He sounds ideal for a number of Obama positions: SecDef, SoS, Secretary of Business, head of the IPAB death panel...

I thought that NK usually “demoted” military men (and others) with a bullet to the back of the head.

Reads as if taken from a description of our own Jugears who in addition to lack of military background, lacks any executive management experience of any kind. I don't think even Bo takes him seriously.
