North Korea claims more than a million young people have signed up to join or rejoin the army this week, state media reported, after accusing South Korea of sending propaganda drones to Pyongyang and blowing up border roads.

That’s a lot of mouths to feed
Biden legacy
Yeah but they get the oatmeal wholesale.
NK army soldiers get rationed 2 cups of rice per week. Thats twice the civilian ration. Of course they are motivated to enlist.

I’m sure they are all rabidly dedicated to dying for Glorious Leader!
They want to attack the Southers, and keep on running!

Yep 👍
Seoul in 3 days!
Nope. They’ll toss the guns aside and head for the nearest Western embassy.
From what I have read South Korea will mop the floors with the NORK's so long as the chicoms don't interfere. If they do all bets are off.
South Korea has enough fortified and zeroed in artillery alone to plow the ground north of the DMZ and obliterate everything in it.
If you do not apply to join then you are used for target practice... you know that is true!
