Title: Mandatory Military Service Extends to Women In North Korea Post by: Chef Ramsay on January 29, 2015, 04:23:04 AM Quote Beginning this year, North Korea is to execute a new directive, set to make military service mandatory for eligible women between the ages of 17 and 20, as a bid to strengthen the nation's defense forces. “Late last year, we received orders for all women who have graduated from middle and high school to undergo mandatory military service,” a source based in North Hamkyung Province told Daily NK on Tuesday. This measure has been handed down to army mobilization offices in each province, city, and county, with implementation reportedly already underway. “The preliminary screening and physicals related to enlistment, which begins in April, are all complete and duty sectors have been organized," he said. Most candidates pass these screenings barring any outstanding physical problems or contagious diseases such as tuberculosis and/or hepatitis. The minimum height requirement for women to serve was lowered to 142cm in 2012, but this standard is not strictly enforced, according to the source. Customarily, enlistment in North Korea occurs twice a year in April and August, and up until now, women served only voluntarily, while men invariably underwent mandatory service. School graduates aged 17-18 years enlist in April, while the enlistment period for workers at or under the age of 20 takes place in August. This new policy, however, will not apply equal serving period requirements to both men and women. “Unlike men, who have to serve for ten years, mandatory service for women is only up to the age of 23,” the source said. “A 17-year-old who enlists in April will serve until she is 23, but a 20-year-old worker who enlists in August will only serve three years," adding that a rumor of men's service being extended by a year has been swirling around recently, but cannot yet be confirmed.

This is partially what real statism looks like - and/or totalitarianism. In essence, your bitch is owned by the state, so call it what you will. There is no freedom here.

Use them as cannon fodder against the invaders? It will be better to have a properly trained army of 400,000 than a four million strong rag-tag one.

I am not sure if those women will tell the difference as they are serving their master since birth, on their knees... It most likely will be seen as an honor to them. An upgrade.

Same thing he will do with the fake artillery, use it to intimidate and make it look like he has more than he really does.

There's absolutely nothing about their culture that isn't militarized.
