*BONUS EPISODE* The Blue House Raid

For this week's bonus, we're discussing the late-'60s insurgency in South Korea, back at a time when the DMZ was more of a concept than an actual barrier, and the North Korean military trained an elite commando unit to sneak across the border in 1968 with a mission to kill South Korean president Park Chung-Hee. They got... closer than you might think.

Kidnapping civilians to teach them political theory is an all time Leftist moment, I love this so much. I can't help but be sympathetic for the assassins here, being this naively optimistic and trusting is bizarrely wholesome.
