The North Koreans would not need this sort of intel; back in '68 they would talk to guys in foxholes on listening points via a loudspeaker and tell them all about their family and how they were doing, sometimes before the GI had recieved the word from home. They said that it could kind of get to you after a while. For some reason, I think this post needs a little editing....

Editing? Care to elaborate?
I wasn't out there on the "Z" with the Big Red One (1st Infantry) but was up that way a few times and met plenty of the guys who were; these reports were quite well known about in theater at the time, and I have left out a lot of the details.
I really don't know if the NK forces have maintained this sort of intel or not over the last 30 years; you'd have to check with someone stationed over there now.
I do know that they had a reputation not only for insane savagely, but for a ruthless cunning seldom matched in the history of warfare.
