Unfed Soldiers Desert Counter-Invasion Exercises
"Amidst freezing temperatures fluctuating between 20 and 30 degrees, soldiers taking part in a joint air force - special operations forces training exercise at a military airbase in Samjiyeon weren't even provided with food," reported a source in Yanggangdo on the 6th December.
If that's the case, the Korean peninsula is about to go kaboom. They can't even feed their soldiers.
In North Korea's current wartime conditions, an article on the 9th December reported that the North's low altitude AN-2 fighter planes were taking part in counter invasion exercises with members of the of the 43rd brigade 10th corps special forces .

"Cold and hungry soldiers raiding villages for dogs and even roasting the rats and cats they find during winter exercises is not entirely new but the number of soldiers deserting because of their senior officers physical and verbal abuse is growing," said the source.

North Korea's Central Chosun TV was quoted as saying "No one can predict what might happen," threatening the South with the possibility of all-out war. But the source‘s account is evidence that in a reality dictated by deteriorating economic circumstances soldierly discipline is receding in a military that can scarcely feed itself.

"In wartime conditions soldiers who desert their base can be passed over to the military courts," the source added. Those found guilty could be executed by firing squad.
