Giant North Korean Mourner Of The Day (Photograph included) - Polidicks

Isn't it an artifact of photoshopping the images so it looks like they're way more people?

[QUOTE=Zero-Point;33971080]I see now why Korean War vets described enemy charges as "a horde of ants running over the hill".[/QUOTE] North Korea hadn't been running long enough at that time for there to be any height difference between the North and South Koreans.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;33971020]Not sure why this guy got dumbs, he's kinda right. North Korean's are malnourished, and as a result, can end up shorter than their South Korean counterparts.

looks like North Korea has been experimenting with some stuff where you eat very little and you grow tall like that.

Stilts.

The average height for North-Koreans is actually quite low. It's about 165 cm/5'5 for males. That guy looks to be far over 7ft though.

I actually noticed that guy when I first saw the picture in the original article's thread. I didn't want to say anything because it looked like an optical illusion with two people standing next to each other at the time.

[QUOTE=Leather Belt;33969769]They're Asian so he's probably only 6-7ft tall.[/QUOTE] u mean 5

Kim isn't dead! He's standing on that man's shoulders!

[QUOTE=Coffee;33969706]But what if he's actually average height any everyone else is really short?[/QUOTE] Then that wouldn't be average height?

[QUOTE=Suff;33983502]The standard height for North Korean's is 4'7 - 5'7"; this is due to the great famine which left most of the nations children malnourished. It isn't that the North Korean soldier is a "giant". He is most likely 6"2, 6"3, or slightly above standard height for Western European's & North Americans.[/QUOTE] I dont think you're looking at the picture quite closely enough. He absolutely DWARFS the rest of them, by a large margin. Someone who is 6'2ish wouldn't dwarf people that much if they were 5'5-5'7 lets say. I'd say he's probably pretty close to 7ft though or higher.

[QUOTE=Baldr 2.0;33983639]Shees that place is [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Security_Area"]dick wave[/URL] central.[/QUOTE] Don't forget Operation Paul Bunyan, where the US and SK deployed a joint force of around 200 men with air support to cut down a tree on the border [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axe_murder_incident[/url] [quote]Operation Paul Bunyan was carried out on August 21 at 7 AM, three days after the killings. A convoy of 23 American and South Korean vehicles ("Task Force Vierra", named for Lieutenant Colonel Victor S. Vierra, commander of the United States Army Support Group) drove into the JSA without warning to the North Koreans, who had one observation post manned at that hour. In the vehicles were two eight-man teams of military engineers (from the 2nd Engineer Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division) equipped with chain-saws to cut down the tree. These teams were accompanied by two 30-man security platoons from the Joint Security Force, who were armed with pistols and axe handles. The 2nd Platoon would secure the northern entrance to the JSA via the Bridge of No Return, while the 3rd Platoon would secure the southern edge of the area. Concurrently, a team from B Company, commanded by Capt. Walter Seifried, had activated the detonation systems for the charges on Freedom Bridge and had the 165mm main gun of the M728 Combat Engineer Vehicle aimed mid-span to ensure that the bridge would fall should the order be given for its destruction. Also B Company, supporting E Company (Bridge), commanded by Capt. Williams, were building M4T6 rafts on the Imjin River should the situation require emergency evacuation by that route. In addition, a 64-man South Korean special forces company accompanied them, armed with clubs and trained in Tae Kwon Do, supposedly without firearms. However, once they parked their trucks near the Bridge of No Return, they started throwing out the sandbags that lined the truck bottoms, and handing out M-16 rifles and M-79 grenade launchers that had been concealed below.[3] Several of the special forces men also had [b]Claymore mines strapped to their chests[/b] with the firing mechanism in their hands, and were shouting at the North Koreans to cross the bridge.[13][14] A U.S. infantry company in 20 utility helicopters and 7 Cobra attack helicopters circled behind them. Behind these helicopters, B-52 Stratofortresses escorted by U.S. F-4 Phantom IIs from Kunsan Air Base and South Korean F-5 Freedom Fighters were visible flying across the sky at high altitude.[/quote] [quote]North Korea quickly responded with about 150–200 troops, armed with machine guns and assault rifles.[3] The North Korean troops arrived mostly in buses, but did not leave them at first, watching the events unfold. Upon seeing their arrival, Lt Col Vierra relayed a radio communication, whereupon the helicopters and Air Force jets became visible over the horizon. The North Koreans quickly disembarked from their buses and began setting up two-man machine gun positions, where they watched in silence as the tree was felled in 42 minutes.[/quote]

[QUOTE=Coffee;33969706]But what if he's actually average height any everyone else is really short?[/QUOTE] yeah, he's probably 5' 10''

[QUOTE=B!N4RY;33983699]Then that wouldn't be average height?[/QUOTE] Average height in reference to the rest of the world.

I'm fairly sure whoever it is he's over 7ft tall. Most likely that Michael Ri guy.

If he were an honest politician, he would never have gotten so many people there

Was anybody not stupid enough to notice that it's two people? Look at the picture. The "top half" is just another dude. EDIT in the row in front of him.

It's just two people, the image is low quality.

They have super soldiers!

Slender-man.
