Little is known about North Korea, and maybe even less is known about the country's military.

And while photos can be instrumental in learning about everyday life in the "hermit kingdom," they can be extremely difficult to get past the border and out of the country.

But a recent Reuters package has a set of rare photos of North Korea's military, ranging from 2006 to 2015, which reveal a snapshot of life as a soldier in North Korea.




The Korean War began in 1950 when 75,000 soldiers from the North crossed the border and invaded the South.

After the Korean War, North and South Korea were split.

The Soviet Union had control of the North and the UN was controlling the South.

The Soviet Union put Kim Il Sung in charge of North Korea, which became known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

His son, Kim Jong Il, took over after his death in 1994.

Kim Jong Un then took over as the ruler of the country in December 2011, when his father and the former leader, Kim Jong Il, died of a heart attack.

Despite the fact that he is in charge of the fourth-largest military in the world, Kim Jong Un has no formal military training.

Seventy percent of ground forces and 50% of air and naval forces are deployed within about 62 miles of the demilitarized no-man's land between North and South Korea as of 2014.

North Korea's military is called the "Korean People's Army," or the KPA.

Today, the North Korean military is composed of more than 1.2 million active soldiers.

And there are another 7.7 million in reserve.

Wow...

I don land.

Most people serve in the military after completing high school.

Men serve for 10 years and women for seven.

I'm enjoying this

With no effective defense systems, the dictator of North Korea would be effortlessly charred to death with bust - bunker missiles. I stand with the USA.

Those who go to college serve for five years after completing their degree.

But those who study science serve for only three years.

This was decided by Kim Jong Un in 2015 to encourage people to study science.

Kim Jung Un and Trump are two unstable human beings on the two opposite sides of the line
