Two Rocket Men missing and may have a job to do

Top North Korean officials involved in the ballistic missile program (aka "Rocket Men") were nowhere to be seen at recent NoKo events.

Ri Man-gon is the supervisor of the department dealing with nuclear and missile development. He's the guy who jumps for joy when one of NoKo's rockets get off the launch pad without blowing up and thus having Kim make him dodge anti-aircraft shells.

Kim Rak-gyom is the head of the strategic rocket forces. He tends to perspire whenever he's in the company of his fearless leader, Kim Jong-Un.

Both Rak-gyom and Man-gon were noticeably missing at the Saturday rally in Pyongyang as well as another celebration on Tuesday for the anniversary of the Worker's Party of Korea , according to Chosun Ilbo a South Korean newspaper.

So what's the big deal, you ask. 

"It's highly likely that they were absent because they'd been given an important assignment," a government-funded organization staff member said. 

The source told Chosun Ilbo that there was "little chance" those guys were removed from their important military positions because they were "praised for [their most recent] achievements [of bringing the Western world closer to total annihilation except for Dennis Rodman]."

The absence of the two leaders was discovered by the release of recent photos of celebrations and rallies. "Usually these two clowns dance around and laugh like idiots, just to please Kim Jong Un so that he doesn't have them killed," my source who goes by the pseudonym Vinny Boombots said.

Some officials say that North Korea might use special holidays to fire one off. Let's hope that it will not be an Iranian holiday. They've carried out previous nuclear tests during Memorial Day Weekend, Lunar New Year celebrations in China and Kim Jong Un's birthday. 

Thankfully, they've given a free pass to Christmas and Chanukah. And the last missile they fired was a Passover Japan.
