North Korea said Wednesday that it had given the title of marshal of the army to its young leader, Kim Jong Un, the latest in a string of recent moves to reconfigure the top ranks of the military.
Kim, who is already referred to as "supreme commander" of the Korean People's Army, has been awarded the title of marshal by the reclusive regime's most powerful political and military bodies, the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
The announcement follows the removal of the army chief, Ri Yong Ho, from all his government posts on Sunday, a decision KCNA said had been motivated by his "illness." A day later, North Korea promoted a little known general to the rank of vice marshal.

I read on another news site where Kim Jung Un has cemented his position. Couldn't have happened to an un-nicer guy. He needs to be dropped into a hole and cemented into position permanently.
The removal of the old marshal had been motivated by his “illness."
Illness is in quotation marks...
What is the real reason?
Something isn't passing the smell test here...
And, really, I don't believe a dang word that comes out of NK, anyway.
