3 North Koreans in a trenchcoat
This joke sucks.
They're conscripts being used as cannon fodder to avoid threats against their families and you're comparing them to monkeys?
I honestly forgot about the monkeys in a trench coat thing because of Vincent Adultman replacing it with kids.
No, the North Korean forces in Russia are the DPRKs special forces. These are not conscripts. They are indoctrinated and jingoistic forces that absolutely believe they are furthering the goals of Kim Il Jong and their families back home.

Still, to get into that you probably have to be from a family that's been super loyal to the regime so those guys signing up have had literally no exposure to anything other than NK propoganda.
