A ceremony of awarding state commendations to the commanding officers and combatants of the overseas military operations units of the KPA was held at the headquarters building of the Central Committee of the WPK. [...]
Secretaries and other senior officials of the WPK Central Committee warmly congratulated the proud sons of the country putting garlands around their necks and giving bouquets.
The venue of the ceremony was full of respect for the brave soldiers who participated in the war with boundless loyalty to the order of the country.
Kim Jong Un met the bereaved families of the martyrs and consoled them, sharing with them the pain of loss.
Kim Jong Un laid a flower before the memorial wall and paid silent tribute, wishing that the noble life of the martyrs who participated in the war to defend the dignity and honour of the great state with their precious lives would shine forever as a star of eternal feats in the memory of the country and the people.
He also placed medals beside the portraits of fallen North Korean troops
Note: One hundred one is my count of the portraits in the photos—the number didn't appear in any of the articles I read. The yahoo news article claims over 600 died, but their source was South Korea.
Incredible. Just incredible stuff. Actually hugging the surviving relatives of the soldiers. But tell us again western propaganda about how he's an out of touch, gluttonous dictator autocrat who revels in subjugating and killing his own people without a second thought. Just pure projection.
Empathy is just another mind control device. If he truly cared about the families of war dead he'd make a one minute scripted phonecall to them that's all about how they gave their life for the flag, then put down the phone and pass legislation that made it even harder for their families to claim their military pension or benefits.
Edit: new homophobia/misogony speed run record: 0! Also new ableism record.
How does all this bigotry keep getting into my anticommunism
@Cowbee@hexbear.net, you thought 39 minutes was fast last time. Check out this one
Amazing, homophobia, misogyny, and ableism all right off the rip? Are the reactionaries getting worse?
Funny how a supposedly anarchist instance keeps attracting these kinds of people
Go fuck yourself.
