There’s an error in the 11th paragraph of the article; if Park was “electrocuted”, he would be dead (“electrocute” being a portmanteau of “electro-” and “execute”). Right thing to say is that Park was shocked by the electric fence when escaping.

JMHO, but the worst Korean War blunder was firing MacArthur; we were already fighting the Chinese, and there is a disturbing parallel to how we were fighting the Iranians in Iraq and the liberal media tried to cover that up. The Kim dynasty should have been crushed in 1951 at the very latest, and the fact that this was one of the first miserable military failures of the UN should have been a warning for the future. (Never mind defining MacArthur going against the POTUS as a Constitutional violation; there’s a reason why The Art Of War says “If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight even if the ruler forbid it”.)

Park died. The escapee is Shin.

Park was Shin’s friend, and he did die.

Park was eltrocuted and died. His body lay on the wires separating them enough for Shin to crawl through.

It wasn’t too disturbing to the 3rd AD, lolz.
