If anything, what's surprising is that only 18 have fled so far...

That we have reports of.

North Korea undoubtedly have vetted political officers whose job is to shoot any regular troops who look like making a break for it, just in case the learned helplessness doesn’t hold.

How many died? If I were a UA soldier, I would probably be shooting everyone running at me from Russia. I'm surprised 18 made it across alive.
