Kim Jong-un Reportedly Makes Military Leaders Write Apology Letters

I am always careful to caveat these type of stories coming out of North Korea because there is no way to confirm whether they are true or not.  They could just be a random rumor that a newspaper editor saw an opportunity for a sensational headline to publish:

Kim Jong Un got drunk and ordered military leaders to write statements about their failures while visiting his summer villa, according to a Japanese press report published Tuesday. The punishment also required the military veterans to write an apology.

“That none of you were able to produce not even one military satellite is a misconduct that is commensurate to treason,” Kim allegedly told senior officials at the time. The veterans were required to stay up all night writing the letters, but when Kim found them in the morning, he was allegedly confused about why there were gathered at his vacation home. “Why are you gathered here?” Kim allegedly said, before adding: “Be careful about your health because you are all old.”

Some of the military leaders began crying, fearful that Kim would order their executions or forced deportations from North Korea, as he has done in the past to other North Korean leaders who were faced with his reportedly hot temper.  [International Business Times]
