Over 1.4 mln DPRK youngsters apply to join the army following drone incursion incident
More than 1.4 million youngsters in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) applied to join or rejoin the military earlier this week, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Wednesday.
More than 1.4 million youth league officials and youth and students across the country volunteered to join or rejoin the army on Oct. 14 and 15, said the KCNA, following an alleged South Korean drone infiltration into Pyongyang, the capital of the DPRK.
The DPRK called the drone incident "a serious provocation of violating its sovereignty."
The DPRK's Foreign Ministry issued a statement late last Friday accusing South Korea of sending drones over Pyongyang. The South Korean military has denied the accusation.
In the latest sign of the heightened tensions between the two countries, the DPRK military blew up parts of the Gyeongui and Donghae lines north of the Military Demarcation Line on Tuesday, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported.

Considering the quantity and quality of weapons the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has, and how strongly motivated its soldiers are, messing with the DPRK would be sheer madness. Provocations seem to serve a different purpose - disrupt the Asia-Pacific political and security landscape and create a pretext for the media hysteria that will invariably be directed at North Korea's partners, China and Russia. @LauraRuHK

There are over 50,000 US troops in various military bases in both Japan and South Korea who have been there since 1945.
Provocations and tensions with North Korea and China are DELIBERATELY kept high for the past 80 years, to justify the american's continued permanent presence in these 2 countries. A lasting peace would mean all those US troops would be asked to leave and go home and close their bases.
