Interesting info to know. But I’m afraid it won’t help them in their mission. The contrary… Imagine the propaganda for North Korea if they capture some of them. I don’t want to.

It’s a poorly kept secret, but is the first time I’ve read a statement of it.

I took an ROTC course as a civie back when it was still possible. The USAF Col. who taught it had been an Intel officer in the Pacific.

He said North AND South both sent Special Ops guys, or ‘huge, physical-fitness nuts’ as he called them, into each other’s countries to probe and collect intel. Hell, North Korea has been caught trying to infil South Korea within this decade.

Wouldn’t be the first time a general said something in front of the press that he shouldn’t have; see Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

Praying that your excellent reportage will not be sullied by these charges. Keep up the good work. I, for one, will keep reading.
