Now that the Norks are *really* going to nuke us, I have one question: what's up with their lids?

These ominous photographs were released today.

In order to be prepared for our future overlords, I need to know what rank people are. Pillbox hats, big-flap hats…?

I’m not aware, in fact, of staff officers’ lids within a service differing based on rank within any nation’s military, but I’d be happy to be corrected.

They have detailed warplans to strike the US? So? Every nation has warplans, with maps presentations and suitably jingoistic titles. I am sure that both Israel and the UK have active plans for a US strike. That does not mean that they are about to execute them.

I have only one thing to ask about the linked article.
The proposed attack sites included Austin, Texas.
What?

They heard that was the best part.

He hates Whole Foods.

I’d swear that’s General Burkhalter advising Dear Leader.

At first I was like why would the Snorks want to nuke us, then I realized the OP meant North Koreans. :smack:

I think the guys in the French style kepi hats are air force, and the guys in the big, oversized Soviet style hats are army. The guy on the left is just a lowly Lieutenant General, while all the others are 4 star General of the Army/Air Force types. I couldn’t find a good cite on the hats though, just going off the collar tabs.

All of them seem to have a large number of stars on their collars, so I don’t know whether the hats distinguish them by rank.

Perhaps the kepi wearers are cavalry and the mushroom-hat wearers are infantry?

Apparently members of the North Koren military deliberately exercise bad taste in picking out headgear in an attempt to emulate their dear leader. Also, gotta love those pant legs - don’t worry guys, I’m sure you’ll grow into them.

The aritcle says that the charts show missile trajectories to US targets. The 3rd picture down, I believe, captures the chart they’re referring to.

Now correct me if I’m wrong, but that chart shows absolutely straight lines. Wouldn’t a ballistic missile trajectory appear as a curve on a flat map?

Am I the only one who finds it odd that the Great Leader uses a run-of-the-mill iMac while signing the Armageddon papers?

I haven’t noticed the UK and Israel releasing publicity photos of their heads of state poring over those plans, have you?

Sure they have.

My hamster used to do that thing with his cheeks.

He doesn’t look Jewish…

We should nuke them for dressing like that.

Frigging SXSW lamers not digging Un’s beat box skillz.

Yes, the lines should be curved.

So, isn’t there a North Korean rocket scientist facepalming somewhere? I can’t believe the freaking GENERALS are that ignorant.
