Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery on the hundredth anniversary of Kim Il Sung's birth

Closing shots of the Martyrs' Cemetery.

I should note that the cemetery holds the graves of some very important North Koreans, including the mother and one of Kim Il Sung's wives, so the soldiers are paying respect to great heroes of the country.

I have always been confused with how soldiers respect honor and uniform in the abstract. If enemy soldiers hold similar ideals and follow their leaders loyally, do opposing soldiers respect and honor each other while trying to kill each other?

I raise this point because many Americans oppose doing anything with North Korea while their leaders govern so oppressively. Of course, I feel differently -- that increasing communication and understanding among regular people will change things faster than waiting for our would-be leaders. But I feel like a lot of those Americans also hold the military in high regard.

I wonder how they would regard a martyrs' cemetery.
