RLLD 4,231 Posted September 27, 2023 Rink Quote King crossed the military demarcation line from South Korea into North Korea in July during a tour of the Joint Security Area inside the demilitarized zone (DMZ). King, a junior enlisted soldier assigned to US Forces Korea, had faced assault charges in South Korea and was due to return to Fort Bliss, Texas, and be removed from the military just one day before he crossed into North Korea, CNN previously reported. Quote North Korea claimed on Wednesday that King has “confessed that he illegally intruded into the territory of the DPRK as he harbored ill feeling against inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the U.S. army and was disillusioned about the unequal U.S. society.” CNN cannot verify whether these are King’s own words.

EternalShinyAndChrome 4,107 Posted September 27, 2023 The dude was trying to get out of a bad-conduct discharge and thought if he fled to NK they would ignore it or maybe get sympathy so they would? Whether he stays in NK or not, that BCD was there to stay. A BCD is not a good thing to have on your record. Prevents you from getting or participating in all kinds of stuff, like owning guns, getting a gubmint job, etc.... Although, this is the Biden Administration so with their propensity to let criminals and ne'er do wells run free with no consequences I'm guessing he's going to get a Honorable Discharge and probably some other perks.
