They are also being instructed to pay homage to Mr Kim by copying his trademark swept-back bouffant that emerges upwards from the shaved patches above his ears.

Because Truman wouldn’t let MacArthur do his job.

Exactly! Britain almost had a heart attack at the mention.

‘You just have to wonder about the mental state of somebody who wears his hair that way.’

Maybe. But there’s absolutely no doubt about a the mental state of a dictator who orders that hair style for his subjects.

It follows the edicts that all of his Nork subjects speak Swedish and wear their underwear on the outside of their clothes.

I think the average North Korean would rather copy those well fed, pork chop jowls.

Those elderly Nork generals want to go right on wearing their huge hats & for their heads to remain in their current locations.

THAT’S why they write so frantically!

Truman fired MAcArthur for provoking the war that came with China by advancing a river too far.

North Korea was captured

It was the peace talks that created North Korea above the 38° north latitude parallel
