Thank you. I have had a short temper a bit these days, though. Sorry.
By the way, here are some photos of stuff seized by the Japanese from North Korean agents who had infiltrated Japan in the past, including the actual transport vessel they sunk after a ferocious gun battle .
Note the spy equipment (coding sheets):
Anyone with a decent AM radio tuner in downtown Tokyo can turn on 657khz at night and hear Radio Pyongyang broadcasting the instructions into Japan right in the open...reading the code for the agents in place.
Some of the agents are no doubt trained in the placement of WMD, such as sarin or VX gas, or other forms of sabotage and confusion.
Maybe I'm blind to your flaws on this thread. But I sure appreciate your tireless contributions to FR from that region. And I'll always have a warm spot in my heart for you as we shared that region,somethwat together, for so long.
From your response we can guess you understand spoken Korean, right?
And you picked that up in the Army when they trained you to monitor the North.
You have since retied to a civilian job in Japan that pays well and may involve your listening in on NK broadcasts ~ or not ~ just something you do to keep up on the accent.
