      What exactly are the people leaving comments expecting to see?

      A lib I know thinks literally every North Korean is in the military.

      He's thankfully anti-Israel but he thinks every Israeli is in the military also; when I asked him who he thinks works at banks, factories, etc. he said "....the women?"

      He doesn't seem to understand what military service actually entails.
