North Korea finally confirmed Tuesday that US soldier Travis King is being detained in the country — nearly a month after he bolted across the border.
King told investigators that he had decided to enter North Korea because he “harbored ill feelings against inhuman mistreatment and racial discrimination within the US Army,” officials said.
The 23-year-old also expressed his willingness to seek refuge in North Korea or a third country, saying he “was disillusioned at the unequal American society,” the North Korean official news agency, KCN, said in a statemen

Agreed...
Traitorous porch money needs to be executed on the spot.
Once King realizes that without the ability to speak Korean, he has no marketable job skills in North Korea. He will find that life is no fantasy world on the Unicorn Farm.
I hope North Korea does to him what the Turks did to Billy Hayes back in the 1970s: make an example of his sorry little backside and give him a very harsh sentence!
He is a communista, after all.
Huge grain of salt with whatever North Korea says.
He'd be lucky to get rice. A lot of North Koreans have to eat grass to survive.
This is going to be fun.
We've seen this movie before, son, and maybe you haven't because you weren't paying attention, or never read a book.
Cutting to the chase, all the suckers like you wind up horrified at the Communist world, and after a few months or years, figure out a way to get home to America, which, even in its present state, has "rights" and "liberty" that automatically belong to any citizen--regardless of whether he comes from an important Communist family.
It's way different, bro.
We'll see you soon, and leave the light on for you.
Enjoy starving in the gulag.
Anybody stupid enough to defect to North Korea belongs there.
Talkin bout lookin fer luv inall the wrong places !!#!!
Once you go north Korean
You’ll never go back.
Then what will Biden trade for this guy?
A ton of gold? A ton of enriched uranium? Our latest missile guidance system?

All the above
and some of his stash of ice cream and cocaine.

I suggest every black, hate whitey criminal, flees to North Korea. I’ll even pay for a few of their airline tickets.
We do not know that. He simply was incorrigible, unfit for military service, violent, would not submit to punishment which he deserved nor military justice. Nothing political at all about it. He fled because he is a nutcase. BAD decision
He fits the pattern of nearly all US defectors to North Korea so far. Trouble back on base down in the ROK.
Oh he will eventually come home. But it will be semi conscious, in an air ambulance, intubated and unable to speak about what happened to him, with a short life remaining for him back in the USA. Mark my word, it will happen.
He got the luxury prisons - He could have been sent to the prison in Sinope which has a nice collection of Medieval torture instruments which are shown to various inmates, including the Iron Maiden. No one lasted more than 5 years.

Bonus points:
If you go to the wiki page and hover over the first link (Sinope Fortress in Sinope, Turkey) the image is taken from the hill top where there ponce was an American listening post.
The hill is also famous for the Well of Diogenes of Sinope where he was supposed to have held up his lamp looking for an honest man.
In the lower right of the image is a red roofed large building - that is/was the local girls school.
“harbored ill feelings against inhuman mistreatment and racial discrimination within the US Army,” officials said.

We don’t need people like that in our military... or our country. I’m sure he will be happier in NorK./s
He thinks Asians in their own country are neither racist nor xenophobic. Okaaay.
