North Korea's Defence Minister Hyon Yong-chol has been executed for showing disloyalty to leader Kim Jong-un, South Korea's spy agency has told parliament.

No small part of American military superiority comes from a completely unique (except maybe for Israel?) culture in which a subordinate officer, NCO, etc. yawning at presentation reflects poorly not on the grunt but on the presenter.

A recent defector said that Kim Jung Un is feeling the pressure. That there are some behind the scenes rumors going around that may be questioning the bloodline of the current ‘Dear leader.” Specifically, Un’s mother was from Japan and that this “half breed dog” never even met his grandfather and is not even in a any family photos, as well as he is incompetent on every front... and that the senior North Korean leadership has no idea the direction he is taking them.
For those that believe in reincarnation - Caligula has returned.
I supposethe fact he received the same medal 8 times didn’t really amount to much when the AAA muzzles were depressed for horizontal fire
That would be a dramatic, but messy, way to go...
Of the seven pallbearers at former leader Kim Jong-il’s 2011 funeral, apart from Kim Jong-un, all have either been executed, have lost their jobs or have not been seen in some time
