North Korea s Special Forces Make up a Sixth of Its Army - and That s Concerning
It is said that you can t manufacture special forces - that is, their quantity and their quality are inversely related.
Here s What You Need To Remember: Even though North Korea s special forces are manufactured it is important to know what it is they do and how well do they do it.
One of the most vital parts of North Korea’s war machine is one that relies the most on so-called “soldier power” skills. North Korea has likely the largest special-forces organization in the world, numbering two hundred thousand men and women trained in unconventional warfare. Pyongyang’s commandos are trained to operate throughout the Korean Peninsula, and possibly beyond, to present an asymmetric threat to its enemies.

Something funny happened when Sen. Tom Cotton s (R., Ark.) aides received a request for comment from intrepid
Salon reporter Roger Sollenberger.
Cotton s team, which shared the email correspondence with the
Washington Free Beacon, received a reply not from Sollenberger, who on Saturday published a piece alleging that Cotton had misrepresented his military service, but from a woman named Michelle Pettigrew, whose LinkedIn profile identifies her as a highly accomplished investigative researcher and boasts that she is the force behind investigative pieces in NYT, WaPo, LAT, etc.

Leftists spent the weekend smearing Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), a two-time war veteran, after Salon, a progressive news outlet, reported that he lied about being an Army Ranger.
Salon reported on Saturday morning that Sen. Tom Cotton had repeatedly referred to himself as he was running for the Senate in 2012 as an “Army Ranger” or had said he volunteered to be an Army Ranger.
In fact, Cotton had attended and graduated from Ranger School, one of the toughest training courses in the Army whose graduates earn the Ranger tab and are often referred to as “Rangers.”
For example, when two women graduated from Ranger School, they were frequently referred to as “Army Rangers.”
