I've been trying to get further informaation on this....I understand now since this happened, a new rule of engagement has been issued that the JSA is to fire at the NK soldiers trying to kill any defectors crossing the border.

VERY brave man to pull this off...The guy is the epitome of the statement..."Live free or die" ...he literally escaped James Bond Golden.Eye style through a hail of gunfire with guys shooting at him literally yards behind him in his final sprint.

Interesting. Link?

It seems to me that I've read only sidearms are allowed right at the border, but the North obviously violates this: If JSA is to not risk their soldiers greatly, they will have to "upgrade" as well, which of course might be responded to by the North, and so on.

Talk about your dicey situations...
