An army of goat-kickers?
Blog Guy, I see North Korea is shooting off more of those missiles. I’m worried. What can you tell me about them?
They don’t deal well with their goats.
Um, could you elaborate on that?
Just look at these pictures. A North Korean soldier kicking a goat. And they’re practically dragging them in the other photo.
Oh man, are you back on that goat jag again? I thought you had let that go.
I wish somebody would give that goat-kicker a dose of his own medicine. If I see that guy walking down my street, I’ll teach him about kicking.
But that’s just one soldier. He may be the only goat-kicker in North Korea.
No, if they put him within photo distance of the border, they think he’s exemplary. They must have a whole army of goat-kickers up there. Anybody got that guy’s cell phone number? Or his e-mail address? I’ll spam him senseless! Who’s with me?

I’m sure the picture doesn’t show the anti-Fearless Leader protests they had just taken part in. Maybe the goats do not appreciate the type of wonderful lifestyle they enjoy under Fearless Leader…
They could even be goats trained by Imperialist Spies sent by the Obama administration to show solidarity for the unrespected, minority goat population in N. Korea. That type of protest must be stopped immediately. Down with all Imperialist Dogs…, I mean Goats!
Captain Jong, I think Private Kim needs a transfer away from the front line.
I just caught him teaching the goats the ‘hoky poky’.
Oh hell, now what?
Kim, you clown!- you go on the sled, the goats pull you!!!
Private Kim is shown in his boot camp training for mastering the art of convincing dissident thinkers in a friendly way how much the Fearless and Beloved Leader loves and cares for all of his people.
this picture shows the newest mobile launch base, the goat bomb, after seen giving a final tune up to calibrate the directional system (pic 1), the young officer is quickly trained by the goats to guide them through the mine fields of borderland north korea (pic 2).
This gives a completely new meaning to the expression Boot Camp…
I am sure the kids are the offsprings of the dairy goats Heifer Project International shipped to DPRK in 1997 as humanitarian aid from China. Poor goats! DPRK was mad on them as soon as they arrived as there was outbreak of the disease called “sore mouth” among them. So, they were quarantined in Siniuju, the border town with China. Seemed the army became the owner of these milk producing livestock.
Genetically these goats are from GB.
