The many failed attempts to kill the leaders of North Korea
    Adam Rawnsley, Foreign Policy

(Foreign Policy) — The two dozen commandos trained to kill North Korean dictator Kim Il Sung on a remote island off the coast of South Korea never made it to Pyongyang.

The men of the 2325th Group’s 209th Detachment had been recruited from the country’s poor, desperate, and criminal and brought to Silmido Island to be trained to become assassins. To South Korea’s own authoritarian leaders in 1968, this meant they had to be hardened.

They were abused, neglected, and put through grueling exercises with guards shooting at their feet and beating them with bats when they didn’t perform to expectations. Six of them were executed for disobedience; another drowned by accident.

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

If you say it... you must post the meme.   It is an iternet rule.
