Allegedly the E2 was in a SOUTH Korean Jail before the defection, what's up with that.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 100% not an accidental crossing. ETA - His chain of command is now toast. I wonder what unit? Social media had 2-17 FA on their way home from rotation but delayed. His COC and whoever who was the escort and on sentry duty are fucked even if he was stupid. The rules are pretty straightforward with what to do and not to do when you are in the JSA. |

I read earlier he had been in a Korean jail for three months. |

He was in deep kimchi and they were shipping him back to US to be discharged, prob. a less than honorable one too. Said he didn't want to go back to US and once his escort left him. He left airport and went to Demarcation line with a tour group and crossed. Source Fox news |

Ok, so they escorted him to Kimpo now know as Gimpo international airport.
When they should have sent him out of Osan AFB. His escort could have walked him onto the plane.  Then when he landed stateside. There would be another escort to take him to the next leg of his journey until he reached his final destination. But someone assumed he was just going get on the plane and catch the connecting flights to Fort Bliss and report in.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Private 2nd Class Travis King had just been released from a South Korean prison where he had been held on assault charges and was facing additional military disciplinary actions in the US.  https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/east-asia/american-national-dmz-north-korea-border-b2377237.html Me and the missus were watching that story on the nightly news last night. They mentioned he had been in a S. Korean jail for 40 some days and was being sent back to the States for disciplinary action and discharge. Hope you like your new accommodations shitbird. |

Months before he fled into North Korea, U.S. soldier Travis King faced two assault allegations and was fined by a South Korean court for damaging a police car, according to a court ruling and a lawyer who represented him.
The U.S. military was scrambling to establish the fate of King, who made an unauthorised crossing of the inter-Korean border into North Korea on Tuesday, throwing Washington into a new crisis in its dealing with the nuclear-armed state. The Seoul court said on September 25 last year King punched a man in the face at a club several times but the case was settled. Two weeks later, on October 8, police officers responded to a report of another altercation involving King, and tried to question him. He continued with his "aggressive behaviour" without answering questions from police, according to the court document. Police placed him in the backseat of their patrol car where he shouted expletives and insults against Koreans, the Korean army, and the Korean police, the ruling said. During his tirade, he kicked the vehicle's door several times, causing about 584,000 won in damages, the ruling said... https://news.yahoo.com/us-soldier-got-fights-damaged-061303418.html |

So under $500. News accounts around here are showing clips of Otto Warmbier when describing the situation, instead of using the Soldier's photo. Hilarious. I couldn't tell you whether or not this Administration will let it drop, or use this as an excuse to pay off Kim for another year. There was a question upthread about why not have the shithead fly out of the US airbase instead of trusting that this guy would make ot back to the US without incident. Especially since the guy had shown such great judgment in the past, and was going back to...what punishment, for those of you who've BTDT in JAG? BCD from this? Some other kind of OTH discharge? Jail time in a military prison in the States? (Which seems kind of unlikely.) Anyway, it seems pretty damn dumb to think that this clown wouldn't make a further scene out in civilized society, if he thought picking a fight with South Korean cops was a good idea. So why take the chance? Couldn't spare the people? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So let me get this straight. You have a shitbird that has disciplinary issues severe enough to send him back to the States, and likely bust him down in rank. But instead of confining him to base or .mil jail, you let him go on a bus to the JSA?! Where he can literally run into North Korea if he wants? Maybe his CoC does deserve all of the ass-pain they're about to receive? Wasn't a similar reason why one of the earlier three US defectors went to NK? Because they were going to get jammed up at court-martial, and thought NK couldn't be worse than that? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: "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." So let me get this straight. You have a shitbird that has disciplinary issues severe enough to send him back to the States, and likely bust him down in rank. But instead of confining him to base or .mil jail, you let him go on a bus to the JSA?! Where he can literally run into North Korea if he wants?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: And the Navy base parts were filmed in Canada because the U.S. Navy wouldn't allow filming to occur at either Norfolk or Kittery Naval Shipyard-where the Portsmouth Naval Prison was located. As an aside, My Dad was stationed at nearby Pease AFB at the time the film was released and my younger brother was born on board Kittery Naval Shipyard a month after the film was released. The film was released in December 1973 and the prison was closed in 1974. The prison sits empty to this day. SCOTUS' Seavey's Island decision and the fact that NH AG David Souter screwed up in 1977 aside; I can't bring myself to say Kittery Naval Shipyard. Apologies for thread drift.
