I see where North Korea (PDRK) will be sending troops to Russia to 'help'

During the Vietnam War, South Korea sent 350,000 troops or about 35,000 per year. Total casualties were 5,100 KIA and 11,000 wounded. In return South Korea's economy boomed thanks to increased American aid, trade, tech transfers, etc. It seems that Kim has taken a page from South Korea's playbook and is hoping for the same boost for his struggling country.
By the way, South Korea sent way more troops to Vietnam that did Australia and New Zealand!

Yup and the S Korean troops were ruthless

They were highly motivated, as they received the same pay as US servicemen, which was quite a bit more than ROK servicemen received.

IIRC the word was both NVA and VC avoided ROK troops when ever possible...
