North Korean soldier’s medical report exposes the regime’s evil
NY Post ^ | Nov 24, 2017 | Post Editorial Board

‘Oh” is all that’s known for the name of the North Korean soldier whose escape to South Korea became a viral video. But we do have a bit more to the story.

Shots hit the 24-year-old five times in the lungs and intestines as he ran to freedom in the heavily guarded border zone. He’s now recovering in intensive care. His stomach contained raw corn kernels — a clear sign of brutal food shortages, though North Korea’s border guards are usually the regime’s most trusted, and favored, troops.

With “more than 20 years of experience as a surgeon,” said Lee Cook-jong, Oh’s chief surgeon, “I have not found parasites this big in the intestines of South Koreans” — or anywhere outside medical textbooks.

The refugee also has tuberculosis and hepatitis B. At 5 feet 5 inches and 130 pounds, he’s much shorter and lighter than the average South Korean his age.

You can see why he’s the third North Korean soldier to defect this year. And why the regime has its forces digging new trenches and planting obstacles to prevent any similar escapes, and reportedly has also switched out the troops that had been on the border.

“How to carve hobos” by Harold L Enlowe is a very educational and enjoyable book.

He will teach you how to make your tools, how to pick your wood and he puts a face of humanity on each of the hobos

If the only thing in his stomach was corn and worms I’d say the North Koreans can no longer afford to keep their border guards well fed.

Set up a few large charcoal smokers right at the border and load em up with pork roasts and ribs. Trade dibs for guns. :-)

“Considering that the prevalent theories as to why human population expanded rapidly in prehistoric times are the inventions of cooking and brewing beer.”

I’d say what makes the Nork regime truly rotten is the lack of beer for the masses.
:D

Late in the war, the starving Confederate troops stopped several successful assaults on Union camps because they stopped to eat food left on Union campfires and in supply wagons. Starving German troops late in WWI did the same when they got past the British trenches.
