Somewhere I read that more US bombs were thrown over North Korea, than US bombs used during the entire WW II. Do you know if that is correct? It made sense to me when the Swedish former Swedish prime minister came back from a visit to North Korea and said: "It is not only an autocracy, it is a nekrocracy"; with the worship of a dead leader.
Yes, the US dropped more bombs on Korea than Europe. To no success. As Admiral Clark, commanding 7th fleet at the time said, "The interdiction campaign didn't interdict." If you want to get educated on Korea, my three books go a long way to chipping away at the fossilized coprolite of "fact-like substance."
And North Korea is as bad as everyone says and always has been.
I was thinking of the national trauma arising out of that massive bombing. It has been possible to maintain control of the population also with retraumatization.
As with all autocracies, where one man is representing the whole people, it does not matter how many gets lost, as long as the autocrat is alive. When he dies he represents all people that died.

What is the name of your books?
Oh yeah, and it gets used. If you go to a North Korean war museum, the items from the other side are all shot-down/shot-up wrecks.
