Out of every one hundred men they send us, ten should not even be here. Eighty will do nothing but serve as targets for the enemy. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, upon them depends our success in battle. But one, ah the one, he is a real warrior, and he will bring the others back from battle alive.
Duty is the most sublime word in the English language. Do your duty in all things. You can not do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less than your duty.
I'm betting this satellite was shot down. Gotta love the professional liars.

If the satellite falls into the North Pole on Santa Claus, then Kim Jong Un will be getting coal for presents this year, not that they need any since their country are exporters of coal.

They probably just wanted to put something in orbit and it didn't matter if it spins end for end or not.
Spin Stabilized orbit... North Koreans are only a few decades behind in using RCS on their birds. High School project in the western world today.
Here's what the People's Republic of Korea have accomplished. Yeah, once again you can chuckle at the propaganda of fascio-corporate (quasi-government) MSM in the western world.

The whole tumbling out of control is media hyperbole. Once something is in orbit, it's path is well defined. They may have lost attitude control, but it's not going anywhere. Media makes it sound like a drunk driver weaving and running into stuff.
