This just speaks for itself. :D
We could win a conflict - just send some B2s trailing big magnets. Problem solved
And you thought our posers looked bafoonish ;)

Those guys get awarded a medal for every time they go 30 consecutive days without anything to eat but rotten cabbage.

Kimchi:eek: Reminds me of the time last summer when I insulted a waiter in a classy restaurant in Harrisburg, PA. He was trying to extol the virtues of the Kimchi that was on the menu. Daughter #2 and I had a few too many and it went downhill from there- for him not us;)
Maybe they get them for pronouncing KorEEerrrrr correctly.
Edit: FWIW- My wife's stepmom is from South Korea and she's lived here 25+ years. She still has problems pronouncing (L's) in English. I just happen to find it pretty hirarious and it makes me raff a rot.
And this white boy loves Kimchi and Korean BBQ. I prefer to eat it over anything else.

I thought that they were demonstrating North Korea's version of dragon skin body armor.

Really! Who woulda thought? Seriously, there are some pretty good restaurants in downtown Harrisburg. The ones that serve Kimchi notwithstanding:D
If you ever get up to the Philly area, send me PM. We'll pop over to eat at Penn's restaurant and that is some really excellent food:lifter
Still no burgers as good as CharGrille though;)
Oh, that's going to lead to a new poser trend...
... when you run out of space on your jacket for medals, carry on down your trouser leg.
Does the 3rd guy over from the right have a medal dangling from his crank?

S.True bravery. He "hung it out there" (i.e., said something besides 'yes') and didn't get it chopped off.
Surely these soldiers deserve medals, too:

The results of a classified Defense Intelligence Agency report indicate that “North Korea now has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles.”
Are North Korea's nuclear weapons small enough to fit a ballistic missile?
That was the bombshell out of a House Armed Services Committee hearing Thursday.
It came when Rep. Doug Lamborn (R) of Colorado began quoting from what he said was an unclassified version of the DIA report, which has not yet been made public.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey, the nation’s top military officer, appeared caught off-guard. The Pentagon has in recent days sought to strike a balance between words of warning to the North and attempts to calm the situation. General Dempsey's reaction suggested that he was not pleased to have the DIA assessment made public, as it could further stoke anxieties over what is already a enormously tense international standoff.
Representative Lamborn read from the report toward the end of a defense budget hearing.
“They say, ‘DIA assess with moderate confidence the North currently has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles. However, the reliability will be low.’ General, would you agree with that assessment by DIA?” he asked

“I can’t touch that one,” Dempsey answered.
The problem was that the report hasn’t been released, he said. “Some of it’s classified, some of it’s unclassified.”
Lamborn tried asking the question again, heedless of the sensitivity of the topic. “This is public; this is unclassified, so I can make it public.”
“And your question is do I agree with the DIA’s assessment?” Dempsey repeated.
“Yes,” Lamborn responded.
“Well,” Dempsey answered, “You said it’s not publicly released, so I choose not to comment on it.”
Only a day ago, Dempsey told reporters during a Pentagon briefing that “the proximity of the North Koreans to achieving a miniaturization of a nuclear device on a ballistic missile ... is a classified matter.”
If North Korea does have nuclear-armed missiles, it could strike South Korea, Japan, or US forces in Japan. It could perhaps also hit Guam, but Hawaii and the mainland US are out of the North's missile range, according to US intelligence estimates.
North Korea is expected to launch a missile soon as a show of defiance against the West. The administration said Thursday there is no indication that the missiles readied for launch are nuclear-armed, media reports said.
The exchange between Lamborn and Dempsey was not the only enlightening information about North Korea to emerge from Capitol HIll Thursday. At a different hearing, senior US intelligence officials were sharing some of the most telling details yet to emerge about the personality and motivations of the North's new young leader, Kim Jong-un.

So who's a"-tard"?
Republican gets a report with Secret marked all over with (S) by every line except one along with the title and reads it aloud. Seven pages of (S)! Except this one.
Of course a secret clearance just means you can believe what you hear on the news.

I ran into this (abbreviated below) article linked from The Daily Beast.
North Korean Lady Soldiers Wear 4-Inch Heels
BY MAUREEN O'CONNOR
As an increasingly bellicose North Korea rattles its saber, an unusual sighting in North Korean border town Sinuiju: Female soldiers in platform heels, patrolling by the banks of the Yalu River.
Jobs that require women to perform physical feats in high heels: stripper, model, North Korean soldier, dancer in music videos, Beyoncé.

Makes me wonder if this was "unclassified" in order to justify shooting down any N.Korean missile...

I'm no skeptic of political 'altruism'...but...maybe Iran just wasn't cooperating quickly enough to help Congressmen Dewey, Effem, and Howe keep the 'valued constituents' building Patriots in their districts gainfully employed and they had to go to their tried and true fallback - the always sure to make the evening news Democratic People's Republic of South Yalu and their "Let's bring on the bling for spring!" general staff. :rolleyes:

Hope so. Otherwise, Benghazi, the sequester, chained CPI and the other sleights of hand that have a chance to be exposed will get buried deeper.
