The article also slammed Pyongyang for letting even its most-trusted soldiers suffer from terrible malnutrition. Kim Hyo-sun reports. A U.S. State Department official says the plight of the North Korean soldier who defected to South Korea recently,... is a window into life in North Korea. Brian Hook, director of policy planning and senior policy adviser at the State Department, commented in an op-ed piece in the New York Times,... that the young soldier had hepatitis B and an enormous number of parasitic worms in his intestines. Describing the North as a slave state,... Hook explained that even trusted soldiers suffer from terrible malnourishment as the regime directs most of its money towards its nuclear and missile programs. He added that the living conditions for the vast majority of other North Koreans are much worse. Meanwhile,... the South Korean military is broadcasting news of the defected soldier towards North Korean servicemen. According to officials,... they started broadcasting the news via the South Korean military's loudspeakers set up along the border,... shortly after the defection on November 13th. Such broadcasts are heavily criticized by North Korea,... claiming they may provoke defections by its front-line soldiers. Kim Hyo-sun, Arirang News.
