"North Korea confirms US soldier Travis King is in the country"

"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. 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 has reported."

"'(H)e had assaulted an individual in South Korea and had been in custody of the South Korean government and was going to come back to the United States to face the consequences in the Army,' Wormuth said. 'And I’m sure that he was grappling with that.'"

"The Biden administration, meanwhile, has been debating whether to designate King as a prisoner of war, which could afford him greater protections under the Geneva Convention, defense officials told CNN."


He willfully and intentionally crossed into North Korea. Someone please explain to me how he could possibly be considered a POW?

Let that idiot stay there. Who in the world thinks its a better choice to go into North Korea rather than face misdemeanor charges which will see no jail time and just a discharge?

As the saying goes 'Play Stupid Games - Win Stupid Prizes'.
Couldn't agree more.

Man is natural; therefore, man-made objects are natural :twocents: :p

Also, I'm fairly certain that coronaviruses existed long before Covid-19. It didn't just appear out of thin air - we had to start with something. So to say there is NOTHING natural about it is just ridiculous.

Coronavirues are natural. Covid 19 ain't. It's man-made.

An active military personnel defecting to North Korea…is it touching on treason? Genuine question.

My thoughts: someone escaping inhumane treatment by going to NK just doesn’t make sense, it’s going from bad to worse, unless the person has premeditated willingness to exchange sensitive info for a safe harbour.

If I take a Nissan 370Z and modify it with a terrible body kit and a shitty exhaust, it's still a Nissan at the end of the day.

Mother Nature makes genetic modifications all the time. No different than how Covid-19 was created. Except that it was made in a lab by man instead of over natural time in the environment. Who's to say that Mother Nature couldn't have come up with Covid-19 herself given enough time?

Evolution is one thing. Doing it in a lab is completely different.

Quite the contrary. This is the epitome of artificial, which is defined as, "made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural."

Viruses have existed for quite some time. The difference between these viruses and COVID19 is the former is naturally-occurring while the latter was artificially created.
