Lol I don't think you have to worry. He's never coming back, or if he is it will be in a box or he will be braindead like the last fool. I wish there was released surveillance.
There is a point I was trying to make. I mentioned everything because I wanted to show that this is basically a lose-lose situation.
Sounds like they're preparing to do nothing. Defense Department says he wanted to defect to avoid discipline. Basically he's a traitor as far as they're concerned. State department concurs. He willfully and without authorization defected to North Korea. I mean, it's what they're saying publicly. Where NK isn't listening and determining what value they can likely get they might not be saying that.
Young troop isn't the sharpest knife in the rack, fershur. Plus he has criminal tendencies. He should fit right in.
Right. There is no winning with NK, not really. Getting KJU out of his hole was a start, but he won't ever disarm.
I was talking about Travis King and that debacle. We leave him, he gets used as a propaganda prop. We bring him back to America, he might cause more havoc on society, given past violent behavior.

I don't think we'll get him back. At least not alive or not a vegetable.
The idiot walked in there, I don't feel too sorry for him.
Like I said, I wish S. Korea would release surveillance bc you know they have it. I bet the NK soldiers snatched him up fast.
Well on NPR this morning they were talking about how we should negotiate to get him back....
The guy made his choice and I say good luck with that. Why should we give up anything to get him back when it is obvious he wanted to go to NK.
The ironic part is that whatever he was going to face in America as a disciplinary action for his crimes is nothing compared to how NK is going to treat him especially if they view him as a spy.

He willingly crossed over to the North Korean side, to escape being criminally prosecuted by the military for assault charges. I say let him rot over there. He made his choice.
Not one once of effort should be expended to have him returned to the US. If North Korea wants to return him on their own, without any compensation by the US, that's fine. He will face a court-martial and most likely go to prison.
Interesting why there was a NK van waiting for him.
A US military official familiar with the investigation, speaking on condition of anonymity due to a lack of authorisation, told The Messenger that the possibility that the North Koreans had prior knowledge of Mr King’s intention to cross the border is being considered.
His military decorations are not uncommon for a young soldier. Since joining, King has received the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean Defense Service Medal and Overseas Service Ribbon.
