War is war. It doesn’t matter if it’s an American war, Arab war, German, war (pick a culture). Your going to get horror stories. So when you’re commenting about how America is the big bad guy because we’ve used “smart bombs” or heard stories about Guantanamo, you could also look at your own countries in war and you’ll find similar stories. You just refuse to listen to those stories and are too willing to believe any propaganda you hear about American wars. And I would also like to point out that smart bombs were developed to take out the “bad guys” with as little collateral damage as possible. You could also refer to a human being with explosives strapped to their bodies as smart bombs but those smart bombs want to kill women and children.
These illustrations will only serve to promote a war. As the youth that are exposed to these images grow into adults, they will have a fear that America will attack. That fear could lead to making decisions that would inevitably lead to an armed conflict. All because they were fed a bunch of lies from a political system with an agenda. I’m not blind to the fact that American politicians also have their own agendas which are typically focused on money. I wish we could get back to a government by the people for the people and stop big business from dictating policies with their money. But we’re not the only country with this problem.
I raped, murdered and tortured waaaayyy worse than this. I’ll still jerk off to these pictures though, along with all the retards that commented before me.
I see we have a few Marx, Stalin, Mao etc. fans on this board. Note the latter two alone murdered a few hundred MILLION of their own. I love the idiot who compares Guantanamo to these pics… perfect example of a weak mind subjected to brainwashing.
meme…maybe you need to move to NK, I am sure you will be welcomed with open arms…right before you’re tried for being a spy and held in prison until the government can use you as a bargaining chip. All the while they will be pursuing the ability to wipe you and every human being off the face of the Earth. Yeah, go ahead.
Reading through these comments are just as sickening as the art. Anyone who believes that American soldiers actually did these atrocities on a regular basis is completely ignorant. Sure there were the abbherant few, but if anyone did these things it was the North Koreans. The way that communist governments and communist rebels treat their own people and their enemies is the very definition of horror. These folks then pass on the idea that Americans did this also.
The fact that you have bought the propaganda is proof that you are nothing but the useful idiots that Lenin wanted you to be.
if you believe this to be everyone one in our country or military and you live in the USA, you should move because you have no clue how the world really works. do you think it would help NK cause to show anything positive about the USA. granted yes some in our military and country in our history have done horrible things, but you cant say the tree is bad because of a few bad apples it just means that generation and small group was bad.
Truly horifying. However, this is NOT TRUE of American Soldiers. I am retired military myself, and was also in South Korea. These are just propaganda depictions originated in their propagation headquarters to further instill loyalty and fear among their own population. The most isloated country on the face of this earth, the good people of North Korea have nothing to compare life with outside their own highly controlled existence.

Lets see, so we get involved in other peoples war so our young men can die, not to defend others freedom but so we can kill and pillage, the north must of had something we wanted and any place we are must still be like this, that would explain why the South Korean’s are so much worse off then the North today and the people trying to defect to the south must be suicidal people, too want to go where people do things like this…yeah ok, can we say get a grip people, there is the reason why we call propaganda, propaganda and not history.
you people that accually believe this crap you can just leave my country that i so proudly defended. you people are the reason that this country is in dissarray because you believe everything that the media tells you as far as im concerned what happend in Abu Ghraib was nothing compared to what those that have done to us never forget 9/11
Propaganda is about slanting the truth to make people believe what you want them to believe. Just because someone paints a picture doesn’t make it true. North Korea needs us to be the villain so they can tell their people that they are all that stands between them and their enemies. Otherwise they wouldn’t be able to stay in power because the people would revolt about the food shortages, but people are more willing to put up with less during a war. It’s an old trick that has been used by dictators ever since the first kings and queens. The short version is don’t believe everything you read or see.
Most americans are too ignorant to know the atrocities that their government have committed as is the case with many of these comments. modern day america is not much different than if the nazis won the war.
It’s terribly sad that so many believe what North Korea publishes. You people live in the most amazing and wonderful country on this earth. You just don’t know it yet.
I’m wondering why all of you are so anxious to accept this propaganda as the truth. This is a totalitarian regime that has systematically starved millions of it own people, cut off all communication with the outside world and is hell bent on intimidating it’s neighbors.
You are too young to remember the Korean War. Who do you think started the Korean War?
I’m ashamed for all of you who believe the most currupted and violent country on earch could be believed on anything.
If I were posting any of these comments, I’d be ashamed to admit my authorship. Your lack of knowledge of world events is staggering.
It’s best that you make no comment at all until you know what you are typing about. Those of us who have either lived through or studied indepth these events, are stunned by your total lack of the basic facts.
Without the United States, the world as a whole would be a hole indeed.
Let’s see, branding prisoners with a hot iron, burying women and children alive, sawing prisoners heads open, summary executions, binding women to animals, shooting men women and children in the head, pulling teeth from prisoners, burning at the stake and last but not least driving nails into peoples skulls.
Come on people, you folks that find this propaganda believable disgust me. You are the ‘hate America’ crowd. For heavens sake, we are prosecuting a soldier for giving a known terrorist a fat lip.
We put boots on the ground with the sole purpose of preventing civilian casualties when air strikes would cost far fewer American lives and would be cheaper.
I can not believe most of the sick comments seem to believe this PROPAGANDA. It must match the crap that is being taught in our schools. The U.S. is the only nation in history to celebrate Victory by giving a country back to the people of that country and then going home. Why do you hate this country so much? It disgusts me that so many good people died over the past two centuries to secure your liberty and you not only do not appreciate it, but spit on your ancestors!
Yea, those are very similar to Guantanamo Ba- ARE YOU KIDDING? Propaganda is made to suppress intellect, but it looks like it didn’t have far to go in this case.
All of you socialist liberal POS obama lovers leave this country! Look closely at the pictures of their faces and most of them look oriental-duh! Most of you draftdodgers wouldn’t know your a** from a hole in the ground. Go back to canada or cuba!! All you other kool-aid drinking socialists who are high school drop outs, ST*U unless you know what your talking about! Your able to stay this sh*t because of vets like myself, went where you were afraid to go.
Interesting how repressed North Korea really seems to be. I guess they are so shut inside that wacky country that time has stopped for them back in 1953. Depicting old Army uniforms, weapons markings and such. If you’re going to do propaganda, get it right! I believe all their knowledge stopped back in the 50′s. Still can’t feed themselves or do anything close to being a viable government. North Korea, everyone laughs at the nation as a whole…or as a hole.

Amazing comments here. Amazing that when a disaster strikes anywhere in the world, what country offers the most… the USA. We out give the rest of the world and we provide more humanitarian relief than the rest of the world. Guantanamo is NOTHING like these pieces of propaganda trash. The rest of the world is jealous of the prosperity of the USA and what we have WORKED for, not been given.
The USA was founded based upon freedom and liberty. The
This is bull compared to other countries brutality to their people . If you look at this and judge my county then you can die by the gun for all I care. Go jump off the cliff with your family dumb assholes.
This is a skewed perspective of how Americans acted during the Korean war. It’s also the case that anything shown on western tv lately is a skewed perspective of how things are playing out now. Anyone chanting “bullcrap bullcrap bullcrap” or “USA USA USA” is just as blinded by those crying the opposite. Grow up and open your eyes: Nobody’s innocent anymore.
Obvious it must be all true. That is why so many foreigners immigrate to America. They want to go where torture, violence and suppression is the norm. They don’t want to stay in their lovely country where there are human rights.
Wonder how many Americans escaped the USA and emigrated to Viet Nam or Korea???
PS: Not an American, but another western civilization citizens that is actually even better than the USA
That the US gives the most when disaster hits is wrong. The US is no 20 something on the list of donators.
As sickening as this North Korean Nazi-style propaganda is, I fail to see the difference to FOX NEWS that learned from Dr. Goebbels aswell. They use the same methods. Find scapegoats to blame everything on. O’Reilly is the best proof
I find it quite odd reading some of these comments as it appears people seem to be failing to realise the word propoganda, Yes war is tragedy and murder but propoganda is the distortion of truth to create a mindset against a enemy.
I have a hard time believing it was common practise by the u.s or any of the other aligned soldiers that they would behave like this, Remember it was the north that invaded the south and the u.s and its allies were only protecting what was their terrirotory previously, This war was dropped soon as the north gave up the invasion ideas and just went back to the common divide.
I am not being bius towards the u.s here as we all know its imperial but try do remember its Propoganda!
What’s disturbing and sad about these is not the gorey brutallity of the material, since every country has spread propaganda of this nature sometime during it’s wartime, but how North Korea CONTINUES to displays these kinds of images to it’s citizens, inciting fear and hatred when there is no fault. Yes, the Korean war was bad, but they haven’t let go of their passion for these kinds of things. In a way, they are as immature as little elementary children.
The biggest propaganda comes out of American movies and Television – The world just isn’t like that! The Great Hulking American Neanderthal has become unsustainable in his own land and faces extinction by the American Medical Cartel’s insurance adjusters – they decide life and death and “Cull the Herd” by refusing medical care to “Unemployables” much to the delight of the economists and politicians who do not want this nuisance expense to continue. Truth is, even old soldiers get killed off this way sometimes but America is strengthened by it overall!
Disgusting! Didn’t these dipshits ever watch M*A*S*H? This could NEVER have happened. Alan Alda would never have permitted it.
We should nuke ‘em just so they won’t suffer under these false memories.
And yet this still contains less anti-US military propaganda than Avatar.

Right when I they couldn’t possibly get any crazier. I agree with luelinks … it’s just sad… truly sad.
I see we have a few Marx, Stalin, Mao etc. fans on this board. Note the latter two alone murdered a few hundred MILLION of their own. I love the idiot who compares Guantanamo to these pics… perfect example of a weak mind subjected to brainwashing.
Propaganda? These are actual scenes which occurred in the Korean war.
More BS from NK. Yeah, those Lil Kim followers…they’re REAL trustworthy huh?
meme…maybe you need to move to NK, I am sure you will be welcomed with open arms…right before you’re tried for being a spy and held in prison until the government can use you as a bargaining chip.

N Korea confused the USA for themselves
what a steaming load of bull…..if you people believe this happened your stupid.
Actually those are pictures of Korea Solders in their normal day

Similar in a way to the Obama “Hope” posters I’ve seen.

Man, don’t half you morons here understand this is Propaganda made by the world’s most repressive regime? There’s little or no truth to any of this…..
You’re probably the same morons that voted for Obama.
Interesting how repressed North Korea really seems to be. I guess they are so shut inside that wacky country that time has stopped for them back in 1953. Depicting old Army uniforms, weapons markings and such. If you’re going to do propaganda, get it right! I believe all their knowledge stopped back in the 50′s. Still can’t feed themselves or do anything close to being a viable government. North Korea, everyone laughs at the nation as a whole…or as a hole.
Looks like something funded by the Endowment for the Arts.
Messed up world
Looks more like the work of Germany and Russia!

What’s depicted here would make a great Call of Duty level!
the trueth is more than this

Hey, is that Bruce Lee being burned at the stake? War is hell baby.

Pretty interesting stuff these North Korean artists drew. However, it doesn’t change the fact that both communism and democracy is one in the same.
