North Korean Troops Pulled From Kursk Front Line Amid Heavy Losses – NYT - The Moscow Times

Yes, I’d just hate that people kind of forget that any war is inherently a human tragedy often not perpetuated by those fighting it.

We laugh, but North Korea is getting itself combat experienced soldiers.

What evidence do you have that they’re rotating experienced troops back to NK?

Everything I’ve seen suggests most are KIA.

[glitterbomb@lemmy.world]

The only thing they're getting is PTSD and shrapnel.

Unless you consider shooting at russian troops combat experience, then they're getting a lot.

[atzanteol@sh.itjust.works]

Neither you nor I have any idea what the accurate casualty rates and combat stats for NK are. But any army that heads to war comes back with some experience in waging war.

[deegeese@sopuli.xyz]

Again, do you have evidence that any NK soldiers are coming back?

[atzanteol@sh.itjust.works]

What a pointless question. They haven't even been in the war long enough that a tour of duty would end so I wouldn't expect them to be returning yet. But that doesn't mean nobody will ever return.

[deegeese@sopuli.xyz]

I asked for evidence, you gave more vibes. I’m still asking for evidence.

[atzanteol@sh.itjust.works]

Yeah -okay. Bye.

Combat experienced corpses.
