How Paranoid North Korea Is Still Waging War on the United States (video)

PYONGYANG, North Korea - North Korea is showing the world the war that never ended.

Government officials proudly took NBC News to see weapons captured from the U.S. Army and American planes shot down during the Korean War.

The fighting ended 62 years ago, but for this fearful and sometimes paranoid country, it's a war that rages on. It still regards the United States as the enemy threatening its survival.

"This was a Navy plane of the American imperialist aggressors", a uniformed woman soldier told us, pointing at a partly mangled warplane shot down over the Korean peninsula.

It is a conflict that ended with a ceasefire, not a peace treaty, so technically the U.S. and North Korea are still at war, and army here is fighting it every day.


They are going to show their military muscle again Saturday with one of their biggest ever shows of force.

Officially, It's a parade to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Communist Party.
