'Well fed' in relative terms to the average North Korean. Even the military is crippled by widespread malnutrition, with the average size, weight, and intellectual capacity stunted by years of inadequate nourishment.

The recruits themselves are badly damaged by the time they make it into the active military, and little can be done to fix it at that point, even if there were ample food supplies.

It's true that they get the lions share of the resources, but they're far from 'well fed' by any reasonable definition.

“It’s true that they get the lions share of the resources, but they’re far from ‘well fed’ by any reasonable definition.”

Agreed, but the point was, loyalty will remain only as long as being in the military is better off than not being in the military. (at least as it applies to food?)
