Oh another one I forgot.. they have a fascinating segment with the US & South Korean soldiers at the DMZ.

For the most part the zone is all electric fence and mine fields to stop North Koreans from defecting. But there is one area where there is a building that crosses the border where the North and South Koreans can have meetings, etc.. on the outside here there is no fence, just a 6" high concrete curb to indicate the border.

The North Korean soldiers stationed at the border there to await communication are arrayed in such a manner so as if any one soldier tries to dash across the border there will always be another soldier who can shoot him.

If the US or SK troops need to pass a note they do this hysterical daisy chain thing where each guy holds onto the guy in front of him. The front guy will then pass letters/documentation across. This way the guy who approaches the border can't be pulled across.

No US or SK troops under 5'8" are allowed to be stationed here.. to remind the NK troops what properly fed soldiers look like!
