The United Nations Command said Kim Jong-un's tyrannical North Korean regime has detained a United States soldier, named as Travis King, who holds the rank of private second class in the US Army, for crossing the Military Demarcation Line from South Korea without permission

Report: While serving in South Korea, King told military officials that he would not "return to post or America."

That’s not easy to do unless intentional and you are a little nutty.

100% not an accidental crossing.

There were like three idiots who did it in the 50s/60s if I recall correctly. They became NK movie stars after a period of torture.

Last time I was there, most of the demarcation area was littered with mines.  I know there are number of bridges and the trade zone area.  I am curious as to where the crossing occurred.

Inside the JSA? Kidnapping more likely.

If this wasn’t a kidnapping or an accident, LET HIM ROT THERE.

No high level negotiations, bribes, or prisoner swaps. I don’t care if they let him cry on TV after he realizes his mistake.

Anyone dumb enough to get grabbed by the Norks by walking to their side?  Possibly third class even.  If a defector then no class.

If they grabbed him from the South side I will apologize.

My first thought.  If he's a straight white male, he'll never see the U.S. again.

Lol holy crap! Per wikipedia:

Beginning in 1978, he was cast in several North Korean films, including one episode of the series Unsung Heroes (as an American villain called "Arthur Cockstud"),[16] and he became a celebrity in the country as a result. He was called "Arthur" by his North Korean friends, after the name of his character in Unsung Heroes. He also translated some of North Korean leader Kim Il Sung's writings into English.


What a maroon.

After allowing the Biden admin to vacillate around, threaten nuclear Armageddon and officially recognize Chinaman Month, Don will give Kim a call.

Don: "Hey Kim, give us back our guy will you?"
Kim: "No problem Don, hope you're doing well"
Don: "You're the greatest skillet face despot ever Kim!"

Not a great time to be a Romanian art student or Japanese nurse, the norks will probably need to kidnap another one.

Unless they want to make him out as gay, like they did with the USS Pueblo sailors.

"A US National on a JSA orientation tour crossed, without authorisation, the Military Demarcation Line into the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)."

"The U.S. official told CBS News the troop in question was being escorted back to the United States for disciplinary reasons, but after going through airport security, they somehow returned and managed to join the border tour."
