5 horrifying facts about North Korean Army

As you may have heard about North Korea and the conditions that people live in, but you may not have heard about the North Korean Army. So lets find out what is uncommon in the North Korean Army.


Army in a war
Army- Pixabay

    Yes, you heard that right. Army Service is compulsory for everyone, Wow.
There are 47 active soldiers for every 1000 people, that would be 1,190,000 active soldiers and 6,300,000 reservants, which makes it the largest army on the planet, US has 5 active soldiers for 1000, Russia 5, India 1, China 2, Pakistan 4. A common male has to serve Army for 10 years and female, 7 years. If you don't want to the job, you will be forced. A very few people can get a bachelor's degree and are still forced to serve 5 years in military. The important scientists serve 3 years in the Army.

Their paramilitary force include teenagers

   Teenagers from 15-18 years old are sent to The Workers-Peasant Red Guard for 15 days training in Summer to prepare them for war.

Soldiers are undernourished

      You cannot imagine getting into Army without consent and going through hard military training with raw corn kernels or a few potatoes a day 2 out of 5 people in North Korea are undernourished, they eventually die due to hunger and other health-related problems.

Female Soldiers suffer more

    Well, Female soldiers suffer more pain than male ones, they fall victim to sexual violence and humiliation. In their 7 years compulsory military service they go through malnutrition and hard training. 180,000 female soldiers serve in the Army and 40% of them are aged between 18-25.

Soldiers are brainwashed

   One might think that no human can hurt other human even if they are rivals, but the soldiers, who do not support violence are brainwashed by the commanding officers.

CEME NUST, another aspect of story....

    There has been a rise in the controversy that the students of the College of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, NUST are not treated nicely. However, I can assure that there is no other institution in Pakistan which can provide a healthy and grooming environment for the freshmen. They may provide you the advanced technology labs and buildings, but as a matter of fact, they will not train you for your better tomorrow as CEME does.      I am a student of CEME, and most importantly the most junior DE-40 in the CEME. I am against any of the rumors trying to damage the reputation of CEME, NUST. We are taught to be better persons for our society, we are taught to speak in front of public, we are taught to take responsibilities, we are taught to deal with the things calmly, we are taught to respect our elders and peers, we are taught to make decision quickly and precisely, we are taught to lead our life in a disciplined way.     As far as tha...

C++ Program for solving 2nd equatiion of motion (Kinematics)

As we know the 2nd equation of motion   #include<iostream> #include<cmath> using namespace std; void main() { double vi, vf, a, s; int eq; cout << "Press 1 to solve for acceleration, 2 for distance, 3 for initial velocity and 4 for final velocity \n"; cin >> eq; if (eq == 1) { cout << "Enter vf, vi and s \n"; cin >> vf >> vi >> s; a = (pow(vf, 2) - pow(vi, 2)) / (2 * s); cout << "Acceleration is " << a << endl; } else if (eq == 2) { cout << "Enter vf, vi and a \n"; cin >> vf >> vi >> a; s = (pow(vf, 2) - pow(vi, 2)) / (2 * a); cout << "Distance is " << s << endl; } else if (eq == 3) { cout << "Enter vf, s and a \n"; cin >> vf >> s >> a; vi = sqrt(pow(vf, 2) - 2 * a*s); cout << "Initial velocity is " <...
