US special forces 'parachuted into North Korea' | |
2012-05-29 | |
US and South Korean special forces have been parachuting into North Korea to gather intelligence about underground military installations, according to a senior US officer. Army Brigadier General Neil Tolley, commander of US special forces in South Korea, told a conference held in Florida last week that Pyongyang had built thousands of tunnels since the Korean war, The Diplomat reported. "The entire tunnel infrastructure is hidden from our satellites," Gen Tolley said. "So we send (South Korean) soldiers and US soldiers to the North to do special reconnaissance."

#11 Drop some chutes weighed down with ice -- ice melts, you get just a parachute out in the middle of nowhere. Leak juicy story to UK press, watch the fun! |

#10 I had a native American cousin who learned to speak Korean fluently when he was in the Air Force & did indeed parachute into the north. This was decades ago. He lived the life of a beggar and a thief, probably just blended in. |

#9 Maybe the special forces guys left a few MREs behind just to be nice. |

#8 Gee, I came out this morning and there were 5 parachutes on the ground, where did they come from? More importantly, can you make soup from them? |

#7 Well, on the positive side, at least obstables such telephone and power lines won't be much of an issue during the parachutist's descent. |

#5 Gotta be either the stupidest leak from an incompetent administration, or (more likely) disinformation. IMHO of course. |

#4 If it is true, OTOH, I DO NOT like broadcasting that we have done this. |

#3 I have no idea if this is true, but if it isn't, I like broadcasting that we've done it and will do it again. Let's see Pudgy the Fabulous General explain how his country is being violated by those evil paratroopers. |

#2 Parachuting into North Korea, no big deal. Parachuting back out again, now that really is the challenge. |

#1 Can't be a true leak. Must be disinformation exercise. Cover for a real data source? Turning on the lights to see where the roaches run to? |
