I just watched something on the guards that stand duty in the DMZ, literally only a few feet away from each other.

The North Korean guards are probably some of the best fed people in all of North Korea, but still many of them look gaunt. The guards stand facing each other with their sides turned to the American/S. Korean guards. If one tries to defect, the other is supposed to shoot him.

The American's that guard on the South Korean side (along with South Koreans) are all hand picked to be large an intimidating. They must be at least 6 feet tall and they stand facing the North Koreans without sunglasses, rain coats or even snow jackets. The stoic unmovable man, dressed against all elements the same way; his standard fatigues.
