I wonder how many North Korean spies and arms merchants the Biden administration will exchange for this piece of garbage.

Hope the guy makes it out okay, if he wants to.
Not sure what’s going on here.

The poor kid has a few screws loose. I feel sorry for his mom — she’s got to be absolutely frantic with worry.

If a draft was happening now, I suspect this guy would not have even passed the tests to get in. He seems to make really bad judgement calls frequently.

He was such a good boy and always wanted to be an army rapper said his mother

But he is the right color to excel in the military today. In today’s Military being the right color is all that is required. There is no limit how far he can go.

Drugs and the Korean DMZ don't mix. Why do you think they call it "dope"?

“crossed” vs “defected”
Alrighty then. Call me when I have a reason to care and they get their story straight.

Well, lucky for her - she doesn't have to imagine it, since her son went ahead and did it.
Probably a nut case, but if he has any semblance of sanity left in him he'll eventually come back with a healthy sense of appreciation for America. Time in foreign prisons under foreign systems of law tends to bring that out in a person - just ask Britney Griner.

1) The U.S. armed forces used to deal with the bad conduct of their own and not allow service members to serve time in foreign jails or prisons, including for crimes against host nation citizens. The United States has a status of forces agreement (SOFA) with the ROKs; King should have been handed over immediately to U.S. military authorities for NJP or court martial.
.
2) Getting the miscreant service member out of country immediately and under close guard until delivered to a disciplinary barracks or brig should be SOP. Dropping off the soldier at an airport and on own his own is beyond stupid.
.
3) Countries such as South Korea, Germany, and Japan with a significant U.S. military presence have been treating service members badly for a long time now. The Japs have a U.S. Naval officer in prison because he experienced a medical emergency while driving and accidentally killed two pedestrians after he lost consciousness. The U.S. administration must grow a spine and stand up to these morons whose asses we’ve kicked and whose bacon we now protect at great cost to the American taxpayer.
.
4) Are things so bad in Biden’s woke military that a soldier would rather defect to the Norks than serve in the perv Army?

I was thinking the same thing.
Can we trade that doper basketball dude for him, though?
That might work.

Yeah, I’d hate to think this will wind up a repeat.
We’ll have to see this play out before we can say what the
heck is going on here.
Boy the Norks don’t play around, and if this guy thought he
was going to get decent treatment out of them, look out!
