    I am curious why that soldier faced disciplinary action in the first place. US soldiers aren’t exactly famous for good ethics, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he committed acts heinous enough to warrant escape.

    By the way, wouldn’t the DPRK just send him back?

      Actually I can believe that he’s a victim, because the US army tends to protect their actual criminals and prosecute the whistleblowers.

      The DPRK should investigate what he did and sentence him according to their laws.

      They’ll probably (rightly) suspect it as an espionage attempt and imprison him for six months or so before eventually deporting him. That’s what they’ve done with westerners in the past.

      I don’t think this has happened since like the Korean war, so who knows tho

      I linked to an article elsewhere in this thread – looks like he got in a fight with a Korean civilian and was disorderly/combative with cops when arrested.
