Quite. Especially their (huge) special forces.
One only has to look at previous spec ops missions the Norks pulled in the south. They fought very hard, very well, and chose death rather than surrender in most cases. Granted it doesn't give any real indication to the rest of their forces, but I still wouldn't put them in the same category as the Iraqis - too many differences.
For one, they are poor yes, but they aren't motivated or fueled by money. Their ideology (juche and what not) is planted deep in all of them from birth. I recommend downloading one of the many investigative documentaries filmed in North Korea on that subject. It's surreal. The whole country is like one big insane asylum. Saying they are brainwashed is just barely scrapping the surface of what goes on there.
