Hell, for that I can buy a real North Korean and wrap him up with twine for the cats to play with. And in his spare time, he could weed my garden. No bargain there!
I'll see if I can find a concrete Kim Jong Un lawn ornament/garden gnome and make my own for $39 bucks.
Cheers and thanks, Swift!

This makes you feel like you are wasting your life with complaining about petty stuff. Thank you for posting this truly inspiring story of overcoming obstacles life can throw at you.
Green Beret Kills 175 Enemy And Was Wounded 18 Times In A Single Battle. Receives Medal Of Honor, retired SGM Bennie Adkins finally honored for incredible heroism.
Sergeant First Class Bennie G. Adkins distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as an Intelligence Sergeant with Detachment A-102, 5th Special Forces Group, 1st Special Forces, during combat operations against an armed enemy at Camp A Shau, Republic of Vietnam, from March 9 to 12, 1966.
When the camp was attacked by a large North Vietnamese and Viet Cong force in the early morning hours, Sergeant First Class Adkins rushed through intense enemy fire and manned a mortar position continually adjusting fire for the camp, despite incurring wounds as the mortar pit received several direct hits from enemy mortars. Upon learning that several soldiers were wounded near the center of camp, he temporarily turned the mortar over to another soldier, ran through exploding mortar rounds, and dragged several comrades to safety.

Ramrod straight... and looking every bit the Command Sgt. Major. And to think he started his Army career with so little promise that he was assigned as an army typist in Germany. Never underestimate people! Heroes often come in unexpected packages.
Well-earned Command Sgt. Major Adkins! Well earned!
With utmost respect,

Took this picture myself in New Bedford, Ma. Phonetic spelling anyone? Every meter in the place had this on it...
