US College Students Request Safe Spaces While NK Kids Train for War
In case you were wondering just how serious Kim Jong Un is about a war, you can ask the kids who call North Korea home. A new report by Express details just how serious the North Korean children are about a war with the United States.
According to Express, a South Korean general claims that North Korean children are being trained to handle automatic weapons and to launch grenades.
Additionally, Lieutenant General In-Bum Chun, a decorated South Korean military leader, says that a “14-year-old North Korean gets more than 100 hours of military training each year.”
“North Korea is very militarized, far beyond any imagination of western powers. The entire country is like a barracks,” he added.
In fact, Business Insider reports that North Korean kindergartners are even given toy rifles and grenades and are told to fire at cartoon images of soldiers.
However, kids aren’t just being trained to fire weapons. They are being trained to wage a war on the digital front as well.
North Korea is drafting “computer whizz kids.” According to Chun, “By 12 or 13-years-old, if he or she shows aptitude for computers, they will be trained up [as] programmers or hackers.”
This is alarming, especially considering North Korea has been known to launch “crippling” cyber attacks, with Britain’s NHS being one of its targets.
During a joint national meeting of the Korean Children’s Union at the Victorious War Monument in Pyongyang in August of last year, officials of youth leagues stated just how ready children are to fight for their country.
“The youngsters will take arms and participate in the sacred war of revenge to clearly show the mettle of the true sons and daughters of the socialist motherland and juvenile revolutionaries,” North Korean news agency KCNA reported.
Talk about a quote that sounds like it came out a Stalinist propaganda news piece.
However, contrast North Korean kids with kids and even college students in the U.S., and the difference couldn’t be any clearer.
In the United States, liberals are teaching our kids that guns are bad. A community in Buffalo, New York even ran a gun buy back program that encouraged kids to turn in their toy guns. Not only that, but colleges tell their students that they can run into any safe space they like when they get their feelings hurt. Let’s just say the mental toughness needed to win a war is lacking in American youth.
Regardless, what North Korea is doing to its kids is off-the-charts crazy, and you can definitely see why so many North Koreans hate the United States, and it has nothing to do with who the president is.
It has to do with the fact that these kids are being indoctrinated from an extremely early age to hate the United States. When kindergartners are given toy rifles and told to shoot at cartoon American soldiers, you know the hate is strong in North Korea.
If thse two countries do go to war, we, as a nation, can only pray we have the mental fortitude as “Greatest Generation” during World War II.
