<h3>How did North Korea manage to obtain such a large military?</h3>

North Korea is a small country. Area is about the size of Ohio. Population is about the same number as Texas.

Yet their military numbers is only slightly smaller than the US military's. How can a small country with a bad economy have such a large military? Is Kim Jong-Il paranoid about being attacked?
